Extenuating circumstances

Anna Jackson


They lie in bed, staring
at the ceiling.
She wouldn't call marriage
a talking cure.
Anyway, a real
psychoanalyst now
would run an interrupted hour,
keeping your subconscious
on your mind like a tune
you can't get
out of your head.
Is that what she wants?
Or continuity's amnesia,
marriage's extended hour?
