FAMILY COUNCELLING.

Spending life misunderstanding it
Is all well and good if your
Family can handle it,
And you have time to contemplate
The relationships between
Man and fate.

But if they should abandon you to
The surrounding fog then
What is left of thought?
Your considerable intolerance
Of casual events
Will swallow you,

As the formidable impunity you
Underpin the future with
Will default on you,
And waves of present tenses
Sweep away the evidence
You have predated.

So you will have to comprehend
As quickly as you can
The greater plan,
Or run the risk of being overawed
By shop doorways and
Their courses.
