Change is Gradual

He can never tell if the question

“Should we schedule another time?”

is rhetorical.  He assumes it is.  For

two years, once a week, he sits on

the couch for an hour, and, for an

hour, he is honest, for an hour,

he explores.  He is an auto-paleon-

-tologist, dusting off the sediment

of years, inspecting it, spinning a

narrative out of it.  Here:  a fight

took place.  Here:  he wanted to die

For two years, once a week, he

does this for an hour.

And somehow, things feel better.
