not us, but actors with a similar communication style
—
getting together with my friend yesterday to catch up,
with our usual mutual understanding:
“if i’m telling you a story be prepared to have 7 mini conversations and 19 other stories thrown into it.”
not me, she has better nails, though we do have a similar look and stance when excitedly interrupting.
—
“i don’t mean to interrupt people but i just randomly remember things and get really excited.”
-author unknown, but exactly what i would say
—
does anyone else have this issue?
i promise not to interrupt your written answer.
i’m working on it.

it is said that no matter how long a conversation has gone on
the most important truths are revealed
as one touches the doorknob and turns to leave.
I find this phenomenon so interesting
and have experienced it firsthand.
have you ever made,
or been the recipient of,
a doorknob confession?

my subaru tribe
has come through once again.
after dropping my car off for service
they offered me a ride home
on their courtesy shuttle
i was happy to hop on the bus.
it was
the three of us
myself
happy driver carl
and
quiet student tim
from the university music school
bus mates through circumstance.
we struck up a conversation
i asked tim what he planned to do
after music school
he said everyone asks him that
i told him not to worry
about what people say
he’d find a way
to use what he loves
to do something he loves.
my own school, life, career
had taken many
unexpected and interesting turns
somehow
i always landed
exactly where i was meant to be.
carl said he knew someone
connected to my old career in advertising
how he liked driving the bus
how he still gets lost sometimes
how he enjoys meeting people
how the street we were driving on
has three different names.
i talked about
working with kinders
how they are so open to music
uninhibited
how they think i’m a good singer
how i still get lost a lot.
tim told us
how he loves subarus too
how writing music
playing saxaphone
makes him feel
what it was like moving here
from the east coast
how he still gets lost.
and
then suddenly
i was home.
tim said
‘you’ve really made me feel better.
i somehow feel like i’ll find my way and there’s hope for me after all.’
carl asked if i needed a ride back
i almost wished i did
it was a good 3 mile trip.
