PROMENADING PSYCHOLOGY, by F. K. CURTIS First Line: The ego, non-ego, the body, the soul' Last Line: The devil! The clock! Well, flunking is fine! Subject(s): Procrastination | ||||||||
"THE ego, non-ego, the body, the soul" -- I wonder if she has a heart, -- "The concept, sensorium, body, the whole," -- I can't keep these meanings apart! "The ego, non-ego" -- such sweet little ways, And the touch of her hand in the waltz, -- A million, cotillion, my mind's in a maze, -- "The concept" -- Jack says she is false. "The concept -- the concept" -- where did I leave off? "Sensorium, body, body, the mind" -- She's a sweet little sinner, for all they may scoff, -- "Sensori" -- the devil! -- I'm not near so blind. "The ego, non-ego" -- did Prex ever dream That a waltz lurked concealed in this line? "Perception, the sense" -- I know she may seem -- The devil! the clock! well, flunking is fine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INDISPENSABLE by BERTON BRALEY SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 90 by BLISS CARMAN TALE: 4.
