poem

 Talking to Myself

Had another interesting conversation with myself

I’m still trying to process what just happened

I asked a few fairly benign, albeit poignant, questions

And the replies just threw me for an unexpected loop.

Who was this person and what else did he know?

He knew things I wasn’t supposed to understand 

Things I never would have guessed I could’ve known. 

After a steady deluge of demystification I stopped asking 

Questions and just sat there for a while and listened.

It was the way to get to know him better

This stranger sharing a space I thought was all mine
