a hobby, my therapist tells me,
as i lie
on her couch
staring at my cuticles.
i've told
her that i'm bored
and floundering.
collect something,
she says,
buy a boat,
or play pickleball.
maybe
join a book club,
or a meet up group that
hikes,
or enjoys movies.
take an art class,
or yoga.
get your mind off of yourself.
be a volunteer
down at the soup
kitchen,
or at a hospital.
give back to the community.
i sigh
and crack my knuckles.
i don't know,
i tell her.
do you have something
else?
