Psychic Windows Washed
Red sun dropped below a psychiatrist’s
left brain, not
to mention the Cascade Range.
The psychiatrist’s opinions rose:
“Computers aren’t anything,
and no one knows how the brain
produces emotions. Anyone who
claims to know is lying.”
On their tiny platform, window washers
dropped into view, 17th floor.
Patient and psychiatrist looked
at them. They looked back.
The patient promised to call the psychiatrist,
especially if the patient were to feel
like a blackbird flying over ice-fields or
to sing obscure anthems in retail stores.
