our heartache, we realize we’re powerless against someone’s denial.
he paused
he could have kept talking
rolled over her declaration but he
recognised it ought to not should hang in the staticky air of their telephone
call
he hoped someone was listening in on the party line
Yes Being powerless offends us you and me particularly when all we want to do is help
Some people don’t want help.
Terrible to say we should respect them Reminds me of Norman Macleans quote from A
River Runs Through It
“At sunrise everything is

Im talking to you
I am loquacious I like
licorice
You’re funny.

I like myself I can tolerate me
I can live with me

You cant tolerate you
Sometimes.
I exhaust myself and go to sleep That way somebody doesnt get hurt
All these many years later, still that violent bent?
Yah Never straightened it out
You’re a piece of work.
I
am
You are. I have to get going. We
always have interesting conversations.
Probably why we still talk
she laughed hard into the
telephone
Probably.
Catch you later, bye.
Buhbye
