It will never work me being a therapist for I am only an actor who learned my lines well and waxing them with added improvisations from the new books I read I confess that some of the best therapists have gone my way and just when I think I see someone more authentic I see him sneak down his throat a couple of pills to bring him through the new attitude and make the audience believe it is he who can take us through god damn it our new guru
Irwin R. Shaw - July 2nd 1986
It will never work
me being a therapist
for I am only an actor who
learned my lines well and waxing them
with added improvisations
from the new books I read
I confess
that some of the best
therapists
have gone my way
and just when I think
I see someone
more authentic
I see him sneak
down his throat
a couple of pills
to bring him
through the new
attitude
and make the audience
believe
it is he
who can take
us through
god damn it
our new guru
