Conversation.

Stupid.

Stupid?

Stupid.

Oh.

Underlined. Dotted. BOLDENED.

But not understood?

Not understood.

Sad.

Not sad. Not unexpected.

Bored.

What?

I’m bored. Let’s expand.

From one-word?

Yes. From one-words. From phrases. To full lines.

Lines like why don’t you and I have a real conversation?

Lines exactly like that.

Didn’t we have those before?

Once upon a time.

Why did we stop?

Must’ve seemed like work.

I think it was to stop fighting.

Confrontations. To avoid confrontations.

That’s what I said.

No, you said fighting.

So what’s wrong with that?

You just won’t make the effort to use the right words.

Why is that so important?

Because it is. And why do I feel like Deja vu?

We must’ve had this conversation before.

Many many times.

Yes.

Oh.

Stupid.

Stupid?

Stupid.
