At Jimmy Deakins' request, the New York chapter of the American Psychiatric Association holds a meeting at One Police Plaza. Bored with the lectures and bladders bursting with coffee, a few of the female APA members pay a visit to the ladies' room where they end up discussing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In solving the crime
He treats some perps like they're slime
Is it becoming hypnotic
An addictive narcotic
Does Goren need it more and more of the time?
Understandably antagonistic
Or intellectually narcissistic?
When his deductions he flaunts
With his sarcastic taunts -
Is Detective Goren becoming sadistic?
How does he gauge
Compassion or rage?
Do you suppose the decision
Sympathy or derision -
Seeks to leave his own demons assuaged?
Will Goren use up his ration
Of generous compassion
Leaving only his scorn
With which to adorn
Perps and victims in Marston-like fashion?
Is it reasoned conclusion
Or emotional confusion
That drives his decisions?
Though he doesn't see visions
Is Bobby's sense of control an illusion?
Perhaps he SHOULD curse with profanity
At every human inanity
Goren's sense of compassion
May be too out-of-fashion
And end up driving him into insanity.
These emotional incursions
Are casting aspersions
The man needs Moriarty
To come to his party
And serve up some mental diversions.
