ladling soup

you need
a hobby, the therapist told me,
in an effort
to wash that
woman out of my
hair. (it was a long time ago)
you need
to travel more,
maybe start a vegetable
garden.
what do you
think about joining the peace corps?
you need to
volunteer to take
your mind off yourself
and past relationships
gone awry.
how are you with ladling
soup?
helping others
will help you.
i'm writing all of this down
as she talks,
knowing i'll never do
any of what she's suggesting,
but it looks
like i'm onboard.
