Starting Therapy

1

The psychiatrist moves toward me,​

a child’s sweater in his hands.

It’s my old white cardigan.

He’s going to make me wear it.

He puts my arm into one of the sleeves.​

He puts it on me backwards.

This thing is a straightjacket!

Anybody in his right mind can see​

this sweater doesn’t fit.

2

Thinking someone is at the door​

I open it to find a small brain​

hovering over the porch.

It won’t come in and it won’t go away.

I let the screen door slam.

It sounds like the door to the apartment​

where I used to live.

No, it’s the door to my parents’ house​

where we lived when I was four.
