THE CASE FOR GROUP THERAPY

We seek salvation in our pain

our mutual crises

our dysfunctional organization.

We hope

eventually

to find some succor

in each other.

We are fools

who believe

that we can see past this tunnel

of darkness

of deprivation

of death

that none has ever escaped.

We will never be free of each other

and our incessant whining

and wheedling

about our problems

our pathetic

putrid, puerile problems.

God, we are loathsome.

How I hate us.
