Nomenclature

A poem by Alan Dugan

My mother never heard of Freud

and she decided as a little girl

that she would call her husband Dick

no matter what his first name was

and did. He called her Ditty. They

called me Bud, and our generic names

amused my analyst. That must, she said,

explain the crazy times I had in bed

and quoted Freud: “Life is pain.”

“What do women want?” and “My

prosthesis does not speak French.”
