292. Hello—Are You There?
—
There are people where it seems like I repeat, explain, help and then go right back to the beginning and repeat, explain, help. Hello—are you there?

Do You Hear Me Talking
—
Do you hear me talking,
Do you see my lips moving,
Do you hear my words floating through the air?
Do you understand me,
Do you comprehend me,
Could you give me a signal that you are there?
—
Do you hear me shouting,
Do you hear me raging,
Do you feel me wanting you to be
Where you make the struggle,
Where you ask the questions,
Where you start the move from “A” to “B”.
—
Are you really present,
Have you left your body,
Could you blink your eyes twice to signal me?
Are you finished teasing,
Are you finished laughing,
When will you begin to take me seriously?
—
Must I keep repeating,
Must I keep repeating,
Will we have this conversation ten more years?
Will you break your wall down,
Will you tear your mask off,
Will you open up your eyes and ears?
—
Should I start all over,
Right at the beginning,
Should I be so patient and help you along?
Must I start all over,
Right at the beginning,
I am getting tired of this whole damn song.
—
Do you hear me talking,
Do you see my lips moving,
Do you hear me talking,
Do you see my lips moving?
