 LISTEN  UP 

Did you ever listen in 

without knowing you’re listening in 

to a conversation 

between two people 

on the next table?

Did you ever then

feel an, “Uh oh!

This is sacred space and I’m not

supposed to hearing what I’m hearing?”

Did you ever then wish you were

the proverbial fly on the wall

because you wanted to fly away?

Well, if you ever had that experience,

and that feeling, relax!

It's from a bygone time and era.

Why? Well today people are

walking around and talking around -

without giving a damn - who’s around -

on all these thousands and thousands 
cell phones - all around us.
