Marital Therapy
John G. Young, M.D.
"Though we both climbed
that mountain top,
They approached it as a task
as they turned out the light.
He even had to ask,
would it be alright?
"we arrived not together,
for I charged off
at a gallop
and she came not
at a trot.
Though after a while
there was some relief
with him on top
and her beneath.
"We might have come
together better
if instead we had fought."
But they never cracked a smile
at all that night.
Yes, to them relief,
hardly delight.
