Psychiatrist’s Chair

we
all walk down a-many roads
at congruent times---
though no supernova,
no paranormal
powers

just human---
with its complexities,
triumphs & flights,
with its vulnerabilities,
deprivations & rights,

with its fingerprints,
irises & blues,
with its imperfections,
corrections
---still subdued

& we’ve reached
the closing scene---
the last act,
the final leg,
of a sore &
battered mind

which brings me
here
