Just listen to what he has to say. <br />How can you evaluate and listen <br />at the same time? <br />And of course start to prepare <br />your witty retort <br />or learned comment. <br />So you heard the words he said? <br />But did you hear what he meant <br />and do you really care <br />or do you just want to make sure <br />he hears what you have to say? <br />The words you are preparing <br />whilst he talks. <br />And what do you think he is doing <br />when you are speaking? <br />And <br />if you can’t even be bothered <br />to listen to what your own voice says <br />why should he?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-listen-to-yourself/
