Inappropriate Therapist
He laughs at my pain
My therapist laughs at my pain
With a joke he will never refrain
I’ll tell stories of trauma
He’ll say “your momma”
And “that’s what she said” when I say brain
His last joke was about being sodomized by your doctor

Poems and essays about faith, failure, love, and whatever’s still twitching after the dust settles. Dark humor, emotional shrapnel, occasional clarity, always painfully honest.
Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

OGM! Your therapist? I hope you took him for all he was worth. So sorry for that additional pain.
