the online therapy session

i sign up for the online
therapy session
for a little tune up.
there's a holiday
discount going on, plus
i have
a coupon
from CVS
when i bought some
sleeping
pills and a bottle
of red wine.
when the screen comes
up, i see
a puppy of a boy,
not quite a man,
with peach fuzz.
he's a shaggy dog
come to life.
this is my chosen therapist.
by the end
of the session,
he's crying and i'm giving
him advice
about his girlfriend
and his mother.
and how he should try
and break away,
be on his own.
i give him my number,
and tell him to give me a
call anytime.
