That professor of French,
trying to start his car
among the innocent snowdrifts,
is the author of a famous book
on the self.
.....
The self has agreed to lecture
before a psychoanalytic study group.
On the appointed day he
does not appear, thereby
meeting his obligation.
.....
The self grants an audience
to the Pope.
They talk shop.
.....
There is a girl the self loves.
She has been trying to study him for days
but her mind keeps
wandering.
