In conversations - often -
we hear with just one ear -
and think we know
what's coming next -
as we skip the words
that shape...
The meaning then gets murky -
and fudged and only grey -
but still we think
we know it all -
as we shoot our words
half thought...
And then in words -
in circles -
we all go round and round -
restating - redefining -
straightening - aligning -
enlarging - confining -
then when we think we
understand -
we start straight back again...
