DRUGS HELP SOMETIMES, BUT THEY ARE NEVER THE SOLE SOLUTION.

Psychologists have yet to find
that spectre called the mind.
they only find that which
implies its existence, the aftereffects,
much as our sole awareness of breezes
are our relief or displeasure as they pass;
sometimes hurricanes, moist and expedient,
sometimes warm, soft, and tender.

Psychiatrists employ their pills and injections
as engineers would design ships —
by amending the mechanisms, one might
make a canoe a battleship,
a leaking oil tanker into a currach.
how the wind affects theses is indeed
dependent in part upon the dimensions.

Psychologists adjust the sails,
retie frayed knots; teach a woman to sail,
she will command a fleet
