The Me We Share
© 2016 Iony Smith
I listened to my conversation with others and heard me and not
them, but I guess that was okay as it was I who was talking and
not them. Yet, when others spoke I again heard me and found that
peculiar and disturbing? So the next opportunity for social
discourse, I was committed to hearing what others had to say and
although successful, interestingly, what I heard said was about
them?
Do we only hear ourselves in others and they through us, them -
well, if that be the case, we understand each other better than I
thought.
And, who am I talking to when I talk to myself? Setting up a
question with a reply then a continuation until the mumbling and
sub-vocalizations slip away into the ether. Guarding a
little secret that everybody has and that everybody hides, our
best communication, sometimes, is a conversation with ourselves.
