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?
