if a tree falls in a forest…

if a tree falls in the forest

i shall not
have this conversation
this conversation
where
i tell you
that
you’ve spent more time
listening to lies
than
pursuing the truth
no
i shall
not
have this conversation
telling you that
your mantra
of perceived truth
is really
just a form
of white noise
designed
to block out
the obvious ambiguities
of the stories
you’ve heard
so
no i
shall not
have this
conversation
it will remain
a soliloquy
for
the whole nature
of
a conversation
is that
one
might
be heard
so
i shall not have
this
conversation
for to be
heard
would require
some enlightenment
on your part
and
well
i shall
not
have
this
conversation

  1. it’s so sad if we never talk about things cause we know the other won’t listening… so very sad…
    p.s. the book i mentioned a few days ago was “Alan and Naomi” by Myron Levoy

  2. But you did. I know that conversation – in my head. I, like you, like everyone has that conversation (though a very different one) over and over in my head. Sometimes it won’t stop – but not very often.

  3. Yeah, talking to some people is like this: “when your’e dead you’re dead and you don’t know it — it’s the same with stupid.”
