Moral of the poem: Be aware of your conversation in a public place.
You just might be giving a poet "wannabe" material for her next poem.
Barbara, Your posts are SO interesting. I'd like to guess where these conversations took place...maybe a medical office?
ReplyDeleteCreative and fascinating, but sad.
ReplyDeleteHow true about being careful about what you say in public.
Barbara---I like that you chose a couple of different conversations and wove them together.
ReplyDeleteOnce I went on a writing marathon, and we went to a winery. I sat near a table with several couples who were well "hydrated." I was writing down bits of their conversation, thinking I was not being obvious about it, but at one point, one of them shrieked, "She's writing down everything we say!" I quickly moved away to a table far away from them. You're right. Evesdropping CAN give us great writing material!
Barb,
ReplyDeleteClever piece. And so true! Thanks for sharing.
