(Written March 28, 2011)
Oh so sweet,
The way we are to small children
And dumb animals.
How easily we miscommunicate
When one speaks but the other does not listen.
The jibber jabber of the everyday
The pitter patter of small feet on eggshells
The chitter chatter over other's heads and behind our backs.
Talking smack in unknown languages
Of the body and face.
Convincing ourselves that we act selflessly
When acting for our own convenience we
Smile and agree, then instantaneously do a 180... while mentally
We curse each other and question each other's sanity.
Can't you see?
This is veritable toxicity.
And we
Smile effortlessly
Neither of us admitting defeat.
