PSYCH gave this group several completely different ways to turn the reader’s head. Diana uses it as a setting that suddenly explains a disturbing series of images, while Mark and auntie jj exploit the classic “Psych!” meaning as a full-on reversal. Debbie gets a quieter comic deflation out of it, interrupting salmon contemplation with the realization that a therapy appointment is waiting.
Elsewhere, the word becomes diagnosis, irritation, existential outlet, and institutional test. The strongest poems made PSYCH do more than finish the sentence: it changed what the preceding lines meant once it arrived.

Follow the STARK walls
FLESH — flashed, cut, crawling, bitten

Robo 4/6
The CHAIN held him tight
Way up high on the PERCH POUCH
It played on his PSYCH
Jonesy 3/6
A cognitive SLIDE?
A MOUSY confusion trap?
Call the PSYCH hotline!
Debbie Wilson 4/6
Watch the salmon SPAWN
PRESS on. POSIT: I watched. Now…
Late for PSYCH session
Mark 3/6
RAISE arm, “hike the ball!”
… SHOUT out to the optimists…
Lucy pulls ball, “PSYCH!”
Lari 3/6
Use your BRAIN, my dear.
It’s unseemly to just QUOTE
Your PSYCH class drivel.
auntie jj 4/6
TRIAD of beauty:
Sun’s SHEEN, WOOSH of breeze, fall leaves
PSYCH! it is A.I.
Mick 4/6
Poem 1
A FORCE runs AMUCK:
late night existential HITCH —
mid-life PSYCH outlet
Poem 2
The FORCE of the blow
left his bloodied face AMUCK.
The HITCH? Passed PSYCH test!
