Dear Dr. B,
I may be meeting some new people soon.
I am scared.
Remember how the last meetings went?
A different kind of incarceration.
If the planets align again,
I will be willing.
I cannot trust them.
It may be a phase.
Why don't you notice when I clip
the noses off of my sentences?
I don't do it on purpose.
Object subject shifts?
Out of necessity?
Fuck me, maybe.
Have you ever danced?
Have you really ever danced?
Of course. What do you drive these days?
Can I see my file?
Yes, that is a good plant. The chair is good too.
It kind of feels like mid-fall if I had to
pin it down.
Does that gumball machine work?
A tiny one.
Desk sized.
I can have one?
I do have a penny.
Gross.
How long have those been there?
It's good to have a sense of humor.
Sincerely, Mr. H.
