My Diagnosis
Today I received my diagnosis
in a manila folder in the mail.
It was bad news when I saw the
egg-stained letterhead and it
continues to be so:
My anti-ego is connected
to my will-to-live
by a type of elan vital
that uses rage and the blues
to express short-term desire
as products of the imagination
which heighten self-discipline
when my Vitamin-B level
drops to the point that
I have to dance all night.
As a result, seizing opportunities
triggers indecisive parti pris
and false exterioception
when a simple yes-or-no would do,
or assertive foreknowledge
could make relaxing an art.
In no uncertain terms I was told
to either try to worry more
or lapse into iconic
states that trigger
dysphemisms of narcissism
which can only be ameliorated
behaviorally--which is to say
not at all--in the grudging
poetic awareness of others.
