Oh
Maureen

for
my therapist
Oh Maureen
how do you
turn your head when offered
a tray of delicious bakery treats
hold up your fingertips so
delicately
and lift your nose into the air
Oh Maureen
you would never eat just for recreation
how do you refrain
Maureen
from having feelings that are
unreasonable
Maureen
your friendships are so simple
Maureen
problems have resolution
Maureen
your thoughts are as pure as snow
Maureen
and when they are not, you know why
when you laugh, is it always to make it better
can you ever lose control
Maureen
have you ever thrown something
just because
it was late at night
and you were furious
Maureen,
Maureen.
Rows of glass windows, Maureen.
Sun hits your office in the afternoon.
Do you prefer the soft quiet of the moon, Maureen?
