listening is an art

 

 

professor eliot

has an older student

he invited to seminar last monday

an older woman

 

quiet at first

then

very much less so

 

antointette 

was the first to shut down

then me

then colin, finally marcy

 

who can compete with anyone

gave up

mrs eliot was doing a slow burn

 

professor eliot was looking for hole to hide in

and she waltzed on and on and on to rhythm only she could hear

Been there! This is painfully funny.

In my experience too those who have the most to say, say the least. There's a huge difference between being self-aware and self-obsessed; how quiet awareness actually is.
