CUT  OFF

I was just getting into my third sentence

when I was cut off. Another took over

the conversation. Another began telling

a memory - which my memory must have

triggered. Whenever this happens - and

it’s been happening more lately,  I’m hurt.

I’m  cut - cut off. Is it me? Am I becoming

more and more boring? Am I losing it -

dying before I want to die? Sometimes

when this happens too much, I want to

jump into a hole and pour dirt on me.

But I don’t. I hope it’s teaching me to

listen and notice when I cut off others.
Does this ever happen to you?
