the lines will be long outside the therapist's door on the 6th

i see a group of therapists
up at the coffee
shop,
about seven of them gathered
around a table
outside sipping drinks
in the shade.
no one seems interested in the DSM-5
on the table.
they are giddy, laughing,
passing around
brochures of vacation cruises
and cars
they might buy.
Rolex watches,
and Gucci wear.
they talk about trips to Paris
and Rome
and Amsterdam.
they can't wait for the election
to be over,
when business will boom
no matter
who wins.
it doesn't matter to them,
where the money comes from
they just don't care.
