conversations with doctor omnibus {omnibus without borders}
there are at least three DO NOT TOUCH signs on the bookshelf in doc omnibus's shared reception area. the half-empty shelves against the back wall of his office are strewn with off-brand comic books about spiders and tsunami evacuation pamphlets. as of next year i'll have been seeing him for a decade.
doc: you'd have been a good lawyer.
LMO: [laughing] my dad used to say that.
doc: this is what i'm talking about!
doc: you're the parent.
doc: do you hate your kids sometimes, sure, but you don't tell them that.
doc: you decide what comes out of your mouth.
doc: you're too permeable.
doc: you need to decide what you want to do and do it regardless of how you feel about it.
doc: you're finally old enough.
doc: [rifling through papers] i can't find anything, this is your fault.
LMO: i know, i figured.
