Challenging conversation

A Poem by Louisa Chan

You know you’ve been sour.

No, I don’t.

You know you’ve grown old.

No, I don’t.

You know you’ve let me down.

No, I don’t.

You know you’re bossing around.

No, you are.

You are never a good talker.

No, you are.

You are just picking on me.

No, you are.

Then, why all this trouble?

Why not?

Why scouring all these places?

Why not?

To look for what?

What’s wrong with you?

What?

What’s wrong with you?

What’s wrong with me?

What have you been hiding?

What have I been hiding?

You know what you’ve been hiding?

No, I don’t.

You know you’ve been sour.

No, I don’t.

You know you’ve grown old.

No, I don’t.

You know you’ve let me down.

No, I don’t.

I have just visited my aunt who has advanced dementia Louisa. This dialogue here reminded me of how frustrating it can be at times to communicate with others, either ill or out for confrontation. I hope you are ok dear friend. My best to you always.
