Communication

What did you say?  Please, say it again.

I didn't quite catch the last line.

Beg your pardon? Bad connection?

Oh, now I can hear you just fine.

 

"I'm sorry. May I interrupt what you're saying?

I have a few thoughts of my own."

So, we listen with passive intent 'til the voice

Becomes nothing more than a drone.

 

It's not an unusually odd situation.

It's not that we strayed from the norm.

If folks were as good at listening as talking,

They all would be better informed.
