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
