REPEATING

I try not to repeat

I try not to repeat

Short memory loss is not fun

Then others insist that you have it

I wonder if they have considered

That butting in just as you are about

To make a point disrupts your thinking

And then you cannot remember what

You were going to say

Later you remember and as you

Are about to explain they cut you

Off again with irrelevant remarks

About something unrelated

It could be frustrating but you

Draw the conclusion that they were

Not interested in the first place

Some are uncouth and have no

Manners, which I realize so I am

Now more of an observer than

A participator

If someone recognizes this and

Claims that I am not engaging I

Compliment them on their astute

Observation.  They have no reply

And just look at me.  I go on about

My business leaving them in a daze
