Dr. Benstein suggests
that the patient
this writer
has compulsions obsessions
enough to sink a battleship
to put down the line
get shit out of his system
of which
the results are not always
beautiful to others
though they are pretty telling
of the id ego super ego
competing for space
in the imperfect man
yet there is potential
in his search for enlightenment
for some gestalt
but this
in itself
is no substitute
for a real job
earning money
mind wandering fixated by glow
staring into a coldening fire
which part is you
whose part are you dealing with
your concerns
own philias fears
or those of your mother father
their unresolved id
then it clears
it is just another BBQ fire
& somebody asking
if you want any leftover meat?
the madness of parents
wanting their kids to resolve
their relationship shit
this guy who shouted
if I moved the torch helping fix the car
she using me to gain some fake advantage
in their fixed match game
no, no burger please
but I will take another beer
as the coals die that bit more
& the night begins to pull in
