People often assume talking is good for us.It must be or it would have died out!Yet even when we are small we know talking or being spoken too can cause pain.I’m leaving out parental criticism.But gossip hurts and so do lies.often.
Later while talking to some people is good,it’s not universal
Words like flying pebbles hurtle from her lips
They may not hit me,but they keep us apart.
Of course,it may be unconscious..
That’s the modern excuse.
Politicians do a double trick.
They sound as if they want to reach us
But they can’t depart from a script they wrote two years ago.
He smiled like a dead drake,leaned towards me,bared his lips
And said,I love you.
I reared back to escape his yellow fangs.
I’d rather be alone.
I suppose the best time is
When we have a balance of talk and silence.
And for women,it’s usually when the men are absent.
If a woman says a few sentences men think it’s a lecture.
You may not believe that men talk more than women
But research shows it.
It’s how we judge their talking.
Boring talk is the worst.
Especially when we can’t escape.
We think we can’t,perhaps we can.
