That’s When I See You

Here’s a very short poem called “That’s when I see you” that I wrote for this week’s Peoplespeakup. I’m not a very good listener. I am not very good at paying attention. But it is a skill that I want to learn. How good are you at seeing and hearing other people? What advice would you give to someone who finds this so hard like me? Let me know what you think about the poem.

I didn’t hear you

I spoke too loud

I didn’t see you

I looked through you

Too often,

you’re a fixture in my life

Too often,

you’re just there.

We’ve set in motion an ocean

of distraction

a complex choreography

of near misses and collisions

and then we crash

with tremendous spark

And only then,

that is when

I see you
