my therapist says. you need
some sort of
activity
to take your mind off
your problems.
go bowling, or take up
archery.
i roll my eyes. what?
do you like to fish, she says.
what about gardening?
or how about wood carving?
i have a friend that makes
salad bowls out of tree
trunks. you should see them.
he sells them down at
the flea market on Saturdays.
he just loses himself in
his work, whittling all day.
personally i like to knit
at night after i get home,
she says.
it's very invigorating.
i made that pillow over there.
see it, the one shaped
like a cat on the window sill?
i let out a deep sigh,
and get up off
the couch where i've been
lying for fifty minutes,
wringing my hands.
don't you just have a pill or
something to numb my brain?
i ask her.
