It happens sometimes
that there is no more attention,
no more,
and listening is impossible–
there is just no more listening,
and where the words should land
is full, like a coat rack
with not enough hooks
so you have to pile them
all on the bed.
A big party of inattention.
I wait till the guests leave
and walk
till breath and mind
mingle
and I can hear you again
as myself.

I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you,
you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking
intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this in my search for something concerning this.
Thank you, Ciialis. Sorry for the late reply. Much appreciated!
