Don't Speak

inspired by a conversation I had with my daughter and a cat

This was inspired by something my daughter said that I misheard while we were walking around our neighborhood which is overrun with stray cats. First draft, so I will probably come back to it at some point.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From the brief conversation we haven’t had

I think I might like you,

which says everything about me

and nothing about you.

I’m the kind of person

who can conjure a crush

out of wishful thinking

and thin air,

so if we ever talk,

try not to ruin

the excellent impression

your silence

has made.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
