Therapy Human

Therapy Human

(fable with a person in the part)

The people she is speaking with

Think that it’s a hoot

And knife-like insight:

My brother-in-law helps my sister

When they’re on an airplane

Because my sister hates to fly

He gets to know the people

Sitting nearby

He’s excellent at striking up conversations

Works at exchanging seats,

When necessary

At the airport, she

Refers to him as “my therapy human”

Since therapy animals are in vogue

But we can do this for each other,

And it’s good to say so

I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that. I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.) I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher
