I took notice that when I spoke to people, I noted their movements; the tiniest twitch in their eyes, a small lip rub, shifting their weight from leg to another. Could they stand still for a moment? Could I make them stand still for a moment? Like Jenga, every move I make is a gamble. The tower, so poorly built but standing, and I, the  worker told to make it taller.

Where do I start? How should it end? Will it stand the weight, or do I shift it?

But can it stand still?

I leave the game alone; half-assed tower but it's standing.

Maybe, I'll try again with the next person I meet.
