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.
