mental (st)illness

by sobroquet

renegade memories relentless effrontery rogue  fractured intruders a formulable formidable aside inside man is a modified monkey a jackdaw in peacock's feathers contradictions, the multiplicity that is a unity a patchwork of odds and ends snips and snails                                   dreams and delusions                                 hopes and fears a mystifying  knot of  phantasmagoric  disquietude agape in a stupefied bewilderment as an autistic child swept up in minutiae inscrutable incongruities melange of matters beyond  explanations maundering machinates necessary inventions repeating and reforming sheltering some aspect of the mind's deforming 'reaction formations' sotto voce instructs the analyst defending emotions at the personalities bequest     merrily merrily merrily merrily,  life is but a dream psychotherapy is no mere scheme
