Therapy
John G. Young, M.D.
Neurosis, the lost art
of seeing three-dimensionally:
with one eye we see,
the other blind
with cataracts grown
in from behind
or like Oedipus
poked out by ourselves
to prevent us from seeing
what went on before.
With help we regain
the lost sight anew,
with help we fuse
and then again see
what we always knew
but two dimensionally.
Therapy, you see,
adds depth to our vision,
perspective on ourselves
and a chance for revision.
