What Freud Said

Freud said,
and I’m quoting here,

supply your own
Austrian accent,

“the unconscious
can cause a ruckus,

yesterday can consume
you. It won’t bother

to call first,
it’ll just show up

unannounced.
Get it out

in the open
and then step

on its neck.”
Pretty sure that’s

in one of the books.
I don’t know

look it up.
