'Are You Listening?'
What I'm thinking of when my mind starts to wander. (It happens more than you think.)
Dancing around in my head are thoughts louder than you are right now,
Incessant strings of words, deafening my ears
So it appears I am listening, when
Truly I am just conveniently staring in your direction and occasionally nodding.
Right now, I am thinking of what is for dinner when lunch isn't even here yet,
And if you know this really bad dad joke:
'Clouds, what do you wear under your shorts?'
The answer is thunder-pants by the way, and
I've never noticed how yellow that wall is on Main Street
'Oh my god, are you even listening?!'
No. Not really. Sorry.
