Being real

"Do you hear me?"
She asked

I lie
listening
to the pearly stream
that is her

"Yes"

"Then, what did I say?"

Damn!

Called out again

"I heard you, not the words"
I say
struggling
to sit up

Hillarious. I will surely use: "I heard you, not the words" in my own life.

Oh no!! I've done that - zoned out to the voice. I think, in certain situations, it is a compliment! Right?
