psychiatric terms


john alan douglas




are generally abused
by people

too lonely
too selfish
too hateful
too jealous
too empty

to lead giving loving lives
with glad husband or proud wife

so they find a happy couple
almost any happy couple
to infect with their disease
of terminally ill jargon

and the muck is raked
on most generously
until two, once warm
and full of good cheer
become plagued
by the superfluous reek
of overwrought analysis

soon one of the two, the weakest
unwittingly adopts this rancid tongue

and thus the two are torn apart
and so does end the heart

this is how the lonely squalid
many add to their mirthless crew
and daily run the world through
