Lucy,
ten dollars a session,
says to me, you're one of those
kind of people,
aren't you?
what do you mean?
we're on zoom.
very awkward.
well, she says, you think
perpetual
lying and cheating
is a deal breaker.
right?
you're against adultery?
yes. i tell her, of course,
and you don't?
well,
sometimes it can strengthen
a relationship
or a marriage, she says,
adjusting her large
red framed glasses
and unwrapping another piece
of gum.
to add to the ones she's
already chewing.
cheating can be a healthy
message to the other person,
that they aren't getting
it done at home,
or bringing in the bacon
and they need to
step up to the plate.
how old are you, i ask Lucy.
none of your beeswax, she
says, laughing.
