SELF TEST # 11

X wants black and white conversations,

I’m right, you’re wrong. Give me a yes

or a no answer. Please – just tell me.

Y wants red or blue, heart of head conversations.

You coming at me with analysis, thought.
I’m coming at you with impressions, feelings.

Z wants the whole box of crayons and colors.

It’s complicated. It has shades. It has implications.

A lifetime of slow understandings and quick misunderstandings.
