My father says that love
Is the most beautiful thing in the world
I think games are
I think chess is the most
Beautiful thing
Not love
Marvin at the Psychiatrist, a three-part mini opera
Part One
Do you love him?
Sorta kinda
Do you need him?
Sorta kinda
He makes me smile a lot
Especially at mealtime
It makes me feel I'm sort of smart
Hm
Is he special?
He's delightful
And romantic?
Yes, and spiteful
But yet it seems that so am I
Just enjoy what you can
Love the boy, not the man
Man
Sorta stylish
Kinda very
Mmm, very very sorta
And kind of hard to describe...?
Yes, yes, I think that's very true
When he's naked-
Yes?
Does he thrill you?
Yes!
Is he vicious?
Yes!
Would he kill you?
Yes
I think he's sorta kinda mean
But I love him, and I need it
If he loved me, I'd concede it
Don't despise what you feel
Love the friend, not the heel
Heel
He's sometimes worthless
Sometimes evil
Sometimes smarmy
Part Two
Explore, Mr. Marvin
Your core, Mr. Marvin
Note how your wife, your ex-wife's subtle glories
Coupled with her tragic stories
Move me in unreported ways
At her very first session
She made quite an impression
Do you mind that?
She was here to speak of Jason
And I find that
I hope Jason acts out more
'Cause there's a few more things we need explored
Good
Good
You said she was withholdingโ
Right
Well that's not quite true
No?
Perhaps she held back love from you
Did she really?
I just know what I'm told
'Cause when I met your wife, she was anything but cold
It wasn't quite precise to say that she was ice
When I met your wife, she was very nice
Very, very, very
Was she faithful? Be objective
Yes
She was faithful
Yes
And you wanted to
Impress her
Yes sir, yes sir
But impress her I did not
Did she sweat a lot?
What?
Was she ruthless?
Huh?
Narcissistic?
Who-?
Let me vary the mood
Yes, please
Does she sleep in the nude?
Nope
No, does not sleep nude
Okay, going on
I have questions
That should probably go unanswered
But there're questions
Like, does she wear a negligรฉ
Could you blow and it would blow away?
ย
Since the session's nearly through
Tell me, what is going on with you?
So, now you're interested in me?
Of course
Part Three
ย
My son's distressing
My father's snide
I'm convalescing
He's morbid and dissatisfied
What should I do now?
He loves another
I agree
I love my mother
Why not me?
We go to ball games
The ball is tossed
The pitcher's handsome
Yeah, and our team lost
Is that my fault, though?
Should I be blamed for that?
Explore museums
Admire art
We stand together
But we stand there looking miles apart
How do I reach him?
What words of wisdom?
What should I do now?
ย
My father says that love
Is the most beautiful thing in the world
I think games are
I think chess is the most
Beautiful thing
Not love
Marvin at the Psychiatrist, a three-part mini opera
The End
