The Inquistor's Accusations Defended and Some Additional Advice Given
It's never too late in most cases,
Depending on what one embraces,
Or whom, and what precautions, medical
Or otherwise, to save one's pedicle,
One takes. I said, "If..." Hypothetical.
If conscience be not there, then hasten
To find the couch, where you may chasten
With psychoanalytic thought
The demon with which you are fraught--
With snakes and teeth and tongues and biting,
Youth gone, yours could be Freud's own writing!
But like the mystic writing pad,
I can't erase, but only add:
(Although I do forget sometimes
The fantasy of my own crimes--)
I keep my dark, secret impression
Of all that's written, in each session.
