I didn't REALLY want to go to therapy today 

I WANTED 
to text in sick
&
I went through a WHOLE thing 

therapy is something 
you are CHOOSING to do 

BUT 
in the end
I decided that

TODAY 
I was pushing through 
I was doing the thing
I had chosen to do
as a showing 
UP

his mother is
BETTER 

AND
he was in 
NEW ORLEANS 

I don't KNOW 

I don't think I 
EVER
feel connected to my therapist, exactly 

BUT 
I FELT 
DIFFERENT 

slightly 
OFF

it was
COLD though
&
I'm NOT good at the 
LAYERING
yet

I'm walking and I'm thinking 
I'm COLDer than I WANT 
to be

& I'm thinking 
REMEMBER 
to take your jacket off 

or your body will acclimate 
& you'll be 
FREEZING for the walk home

BUT 
it was
BOILING HOT in the building 

EVERYBODY was talking about it 

my therapist's office 
is NEXT to an OFFICE 

he moved in, from down the hall 
during the pandemic 
& he's friends with them
SO they
never put up
the WALL

the waiting room is open to their offices
it's KINDA weird 
BUT 
I hardly 
EVER

SEE or HEAR
ANYTHING 

TODAY
I HEARD 
ABOUT the HEAT
