to be such an ugly word,

in appearance, i mean,


" psychagogic"


is pretty attractive, in

an inspiring sort of way.


it resembles a word

that initially portrays

chaos or crazy from

the hitchcock days.


but stepping away

and looking real close

you will see that its

psycha and not psycho


it refers to persuasive,

someone who can sell

ice cubes to eskimos or

matches in hell.


so don’t trust appearance

or the" psych" in the start.

a psychagogue steals

both your mind and your heart.

before you see the hitchcockian shade,

you've bought what they’re selling,

the bargain is made.
