I found this one in my notebook. I wrote it back in November after witnessing this scene.
old couple in the therapist’s elevator
she says “dirty rotten elevator”
he doesn’t even sigh anymore
just presses 2
puts his head down
kneads the brim of his gray-
checked fedora with one
arthritic hand
Thanks for sharing. i loved this, such astute observation of a tiny moment, it says so much about their relationship.

Thanks, Martine. That’s very kind of you.
