The Meeting

We came together and said words of importance out loud. The unspoken words were much louder and even more important. It was unavoidable that some would hear them and others wouldn’t. It was unavoidable that some unspoken words were misunderstood.

There were unspoken responses to the unspoken words.

By the end of the hour so much was said it was hard to know what reality was the run-through, true line.

What was the road to walk on? Who are you? Where are you?

I only see a bubble above your head with the words you don’t say.

“Thank you for your honesty” meant, “Did you really have to say that?”

Wait! Stop talking!
