MAGICAL THINKING

PART 1:  “MY FAVORITE INDIGENTS”
IN A LARGE URBAN HOSPITAL, A DOCTOR-IN-TRAINING GUARDS HIS FLOCK OF  ANONYMOUS AND  SMELLY “SHEEP”.  IN RETURN, THESE LOST SOULS, INVISIBLE OR FORGOTTEN, PATIENTS ON SOCIETY’S  FRINGE, HELP THE DOCTOR LEARN HOW TO HOLD ONTO HIS OWN HUMANITY.


PART 2:   “SEVERE CLEAR”
ON A CLEAR AUTUMN MORNING IN 2001, IN NEW YORK CITY, A RETIRED DOCTOR  BUMPS UP AGAINST THE IMMUTABLE POWER OF DENIAL.   IN LIGHT OF CATACLYSMIC TRAGEDY, HE DISCOVERS HIS LIFELONG COMPANIONS, REASON AND LOGIC, ARE COMPLETELY USELESS.
HIS WIFE, HER DENIAL FIRMLY IN PLACE, REMAINS OPTIMISTIC.
