we rarely disagree

Post by saw » March 9th, 2025, 6:39 pm

my best conversations
are with myself

real people are rarely around
if you exclude doctors and nurses

sometimes I go for days without
using my voice at all

so these chats I'm talking about
take place inside my head

my inner voice is rather friendly
we rarely disagree

we make exciting plans together
like which chore to do next

I often stumble when a genuine person
speaks to me in the grocery store

sometimes I stutter which i never do in my mind
I think I just need more practice

they say there is nothing like
the real thing....oh wait, that's Coca Cola

and I thought I was the only one!

It's how I hone my perfect what-I-shoulda-saids, since I'm prone to get tongue-tied in actual F2F...

And all this time I thought it might only be me.

seems to be something we all do, but rarely talk about

I'll discuss it with myself on this afternoon's walk...

I've caught myself talking aloud to myself in the car lately too....when I become aware that other motorists are watching i pretend i'm talking on my phone

yeah it was great when I had babies, you could pretend you were talking to them.
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

A dog on a leash, too. And they'll never point out any embarrassing flaws in your logic.

A fair proportion of my solo-liquies end up on these pages....
