Hermetic
Two types of people here.
There are people having therapy.
There are therapists.
No other divisions.
Male? Female?
Black? White?
These things are only appearances.
Two types of people,
therapees and therapists.
Those in need of help
and those who offer it.
Us. Them.
But passing by the window,
other types entirely.
Commuters, schoolchildren,
housewives, pensioners
who are not therapists,
who are not receiving therapy.
Intent on their traffic-jams and satchels,
shopping bags, indispensable hats,
they do not seem aware
of this side of the glass,
of what walks about, flings glasses,
weeps, overdoses,
talks, and analyses
only several feet from their own noses.
Osmosis doesn’t happen here.
