One Way Conversations

I don't know how to handle
One way conversations
Like hearing someone’s story
Leaves out the important parts
How it made them feel
What it meant to them
Just a bunch of facts
That goes on and on and on
20 min of fluff or facts
Maybe that be good
If you were writing a story
Than maybe it could
But not so good when
Trying a conversation
It's like listening to a tape
Waiting for it to be over
Or move on to the next song
Dare try not interrupt
Or you wind it back and play
The same thing over again
I get so frustrated and
I just don't know what to do
Or say because I'm afraid
It will start another story
One I've already heard

Opps Yankee4you...hope no female poet on PC remembers telling you her woes......but yes, it happens, sometimes it's easier to listen...and hope there is no repeat performance....just think you're better than paying for a flash office with a couch....rolling on the floor laughing made me smile......but I have a feeling I know someone who would nod with reconitiondoh maybe I best point it out to him....Niahrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing teddybear peace

This is self directed...like a self-potrait..Outside looking inside....I'm writing about meeee!! Being a good conversationalist is an achieved status...me thinks...

Hi, Yankee4you,
I'm smiling. Although there have been a few times when I have marveled at and even been thankful for a one-way conversationalist, I must say I, too, prefer the two-way-conversation variety...that includes those important parts!
