To Freud

I dreaded the second chapter
Of every psych text.
Methods and history.
Acknowledge.  Move on.

But now here in English
When I thought I was free,
I find you still haunt me
Much worse than before. 

Id versus ego.
Iceberg of consciousness.
Psychoanalyzing dreams.
Oedipus complex.

Your thought changed the world
But it’s time to move on.
My dreams are just dreams
When I remember them.
