i was at a party recently and ended up talking about my thoughts on speech. there were five people around me and after a while most of them were nodding and excitedly swapping ideas back and forth. except for one person.
โi still donโt get what youโre talking about, can you explain it again?โ
i paused. it took me a second to snap out of the flatness his question assumed.
โsay that againโ i told him, โand this time put the question back in your chestโ
โuhhhโ he replied. โi donโt get what youโre talking aboutโ
โok, and now try and connect it to desire - what do you want?โ i motioned with my hand, tracing a path from my heart over my throat and out of my mouth.
his face shifted. โthereโs an ache in my chestโฆ im *sad* because I want to understand what you guys are talking aboutโ
