only worthy conversation
is the one never spoken
lovely stories are written
everyday if you pay attention
doesn't change the fact
love is a dirty bus token
handed to the driver
of a vehicle called living
it's like you to claim mia culpa
all you ever were in the first place
was a handy mess in a tissue
your words not and never mine
you know nothing jams man
you see nothing even now
never anyone's friend
including yours or mine
loving himself best and best of all
it's his mia culpa and next, mine
for being so blinded by the light
the only worthy conversation
is the one never spoken
experiences are overrated
I've come and gone
and now I'm done
I'm going to step
off of this bus of jives
and walk the fuck alone
the only worthy conversation
is the one never spoken

If I may be so bold, I think the thing we all need is better conversation partners.
Our collective need to be right is driving everyone around us up the wall..........

We could shut our mouths. Squash our opinions. Become, in the moment listeners.
I don't care who's wrong. I need a partner tonight for the square dance at the hall.

Squash? Or should it be quash? Hmmm.

when I was a kid, I reliably said 'squash' when the word was called for.
I'm fairly sure that's what my mom and dad said once in a great while.
However, shortly before I turned 30 (28, 29) I started seeing 'quash' in print, in online venues.
Sooooooo... I guess people are saying the latter, at least these days.

I believe there in lies my befuddlement. I am old enough now to remember it both ways. I miss my Webster's Dictionary that was printed either the late, late, Fifties, or the early, early Sixties. So many words in it that had disappeared by the time I bought a copy in the late Nineties for my two children to have at home while they were in school.
