Oedipus Ad Doctorus Lll Poem by robert dickerson

-Doc, does one ever really get over it? Completely?
-Yes and no.
-What do you mean?
-Yes, but only if you want to. No, if you don't. It's as simple as that. The real question is 'do you want to'? Belief is strangely enabling. With belief, everything. Without belief, nothing.
-Whew! I feel better already.
-Anything else?
-I don't think so.
-OK. Short session. Here's your prescription. See you in a month. Stay well.
-Thanks.
-Oh, Ed-
-Yes, Doctor?
-Have you seen your cousin? Your cousin Orestes?
-Not recently.
-He hasn't been in in awhile. 'Hope he's alright. If you see him, tell him to give me a call.
-Sure will. See ya. And thanks.
-Bye, now.
