Steady Stream
I realized as she talked and talked,
her husband, hard of hearing,
merely watched her mouth move.
She rarely took a breath and
after three days she didn’t’ ask me,
or anyone else, one question.
When someone did comment,
she rarely acknowledged it.
She’s like a radio or TV,
droning on with no interaction.
You can at least sing with a radio
or yell and throw something at TV.
It’s awful to feel alone when
you’re with someone. I pray
no one ever feels that way
when they’re with me,
especially my family.
