Tuesday Afternoon Group

“Teacher, teacher:
I will not psychoanalyse the chair!
It will not burst into flames!”
(It could! It could!)
Here is one hand; here are ten thousand in agreement.
I think I understand the appeal, but we need
To get on with our lives.

I am late for work.
This wasn’t meaningless, but abstract:
Only good for the first six months of a relationship.
We were simply different: that is enough.

“Philosophy in a vacuum. I cannot see it selling.”
