I
hear
your side
- only your side -
of
the conversation.
You speak
loudly,
"My BUNIONS are KILLING me!"
you speak
often,
"And then she said..."
"After that we went..."
"You wouldn't believe what I saw..."
When you finally pause,
I know
the person
on the other end
of
the line
(the ONLY person who should be hearing your voice)
is getting
a word
in.
But the pause
is
too brief,
too fleeting.
Before I know it
your mouth
is
going
full throttle,
full volume.
I'm not sure
having
a phone
with
you
at ALL times
is such
a good idea...
...for everyone else.
