Hate Mobile Phones at Tables? Bear blogger bonus No 1 - PO
[I promised this at the end of the 'Coot' chapter two posts back - how my offline only acronym also made me do the counter-intuitive thing... (thanks Derek Sivers!)]
COME ALONE
I prided myself in bringing all of me to the table
but I never came alone…
assumptions in my pocket
a volery of adjectival missiles ready should you use
your mobile phone.
I prided myself in bringing all of me to the table
but I never came alone…
a parliament of owls passed silent judgement
on your chat – all fluff no bone
I watch how nature brings herself to my table
hungry, feathered in soft unknown
can I join your small talk murmuration
could we be fall of woodcock here?
can I speak of weather, cake and tea
discovering as I meet the one of you
the one of me?
