listening

Tolerance

Do you ever listen to me? she said & I said I did but sometimes it took a couple of days to sort it out in a way that didn’t make me want to murder her in her sleep.

Tightrope

Most people she never tells about the tightrope because she doesn’t want to listen to their helpful comments from the ground.

Opposition

I just tell them to do things they already want to do, she said, & even then, it’s like pulling teeth.

No Idea

I’ve had some of my best conversations with strangers, she said, because they have no idea who they’re dealing with.
