September 1, 2021

 


GROUNDLESS 

I realize I need to be like a wrestler,
who throws his opponent to the mat.
That’s kind of harsh talking  – but
sometimes when the other seems
to just be babbling – blurting out non-
thought out thoughts – it’s then I need
to break another’s soap bubbles – with
hopes it's then they might understand.
 
I use questions - hooks that could
cause pauses in the other. Maybe
that will tell them I’m interested
in what they might be trying to say.
How else can I get to the ground
of their being – to the experiences
they might not have dug into - in
the experiences of their lifetime.
