I have no feelings at
this late stage of the game, youth is far away,
old age hat
now hides my eyes,
keeping the curious at bay,
the wise
avoid
thinking cliche,
Freud…
I have no feelings at
keeping the curious at bay,
Freud!
You're never too old
to be young
at heart
even Freud was Jung
from the very start
altho' childbirth
is a labour of love
it's all in the swing
of things
and to about-face
child discipline
is strictly a case
of heir conditioning
On a train, my superego, my ego, and my id
saw a beautiful woman on our way to Madrid.
And at my first illicit thought, my superego said, "No!"
And my ego, raising the eyebrows, said, "Oh?"
And my id? My id just did - what my id always did.
what's he on about?
where did he study?
why do we dream?
what is intelligence?
how can we communicate more effectively?
nature or nurture?
he can't answer any of it
why hasn't he read 'im?
like a poet who doesn't rhyme anything

Lucian of the famed Freud family
powerful portraits were his u s p
The human figure made him sing
often pictured sans everything
Trump's Security Clearance is void
And a Florida judge is annoyed
She wanted to see
How Trump's latest plea
Shifts the blame to an FBI droid
The Parliament of Freud
In youth the infernal triad posture and prance
Like the kindergarten of the lower house;
Bit players on the eternal stage of life,
Pawns in the cosmic joust of evolution
Development and decay.
ID pork-barrels the marginal seats, whilst
Ego duns the sleeping ears with rhetoric,
And Super-Ego wrings its hands in despair.
The chattering classes look up with indifference
Before continuing on their way, playing out
Their own little drama on a parochial stage.
Yet at some point in life, wisdom prevails
And the tussle of ID with Super-Ego abates, as
One tempers its selfish demands and the
Other decides she’ll be right, so that
Ego finally gets a grip on reality.
Perplex and absorbed frog
by the leaping butterfly
not Freud would explain
Psychology has crossed the line again.
It was firm, in the sand, but she did not care.
Philosophy rolled his eyes, pretending it was okay.
Incorporating the infraction into a new theory.
Not on my watch! Socrates shrieked. He is the overseer
And as such, he uses only logic, nothing more.
None of that fru fru Freud junk is going to get in his way
Or slow him down or change his mind.
Psychology was chased out onto a highway.
A Mack truck ran over her, but luckily none of the wheels touched her.
She scooted off, running amok, as usual, with her craziness showing.
I hope Freud is proud of himself Socrates said, rolling his eyes.
Freud’s mirror
I am looking at myself in Freud’s mirror
The reflection is not of a white haired bearded sage
But of a falling face of middle age
My face in his mirror
When he saw himself there – did he see the id?
Or was it the repressive super-ego?
A stained old mirror-
Did he shave there?
Or did he just mark time?
Who needs a clock or a calendar to denote its passing-
When all you need do is go to the Bergstrasse
And see yourself in Freud’s mirror?
between café sips
in elegant verléngertes
Freud studies Sigmunds
An inflagrante delicto act
was dismissed as a matter of fact
Her spouse claimed no loss
The man was her boss
And made up for whatever he lacked
Freud Again Horn Haiku
Three aspects will fight
In combat with each other
No equality.

Compiles complete self.
