Didn't I already tell you?
I wish people would listen
I feel like I repeat myself way to much
And way to soon
I only told you a bit ago
Sometimes it's like
We have the same conversations twice
Or thrice
It's exhausting
Also in my field
Don't get me wrong
I love my profession
I already have
An echoing conversation
From person to person
Several times a day
And day after day
So when I talk to the people
Outside of my work
I wish it was deeper
More intellectual
More philosophical
Metaphorical
With imagery
Integrative of knowledge
And culture
Science and history
Health and creativity
Dreams and aspirations
Plans and opinions
Thoughtful and wonder
More questions
And more questioning
Sharing of ideas
Teaching of things
Inviting new concepts
Innovation into actions
Riddles and puzzles
Honesty
Something said
So something can be pondered
More whys and how's
More figure outs
Not just surface data
Superficial
Passing through
Auto pilot
Not just repeating the same thing
You said last week
Every time
I'd rather have you say nothing
Than hear the echoes
And constantly repeat
And explain
Over and over again
And then if there's nothing to say
And that's all we really do
Is vibrate our vocal cords
Or type away
Echoing shallowly
Then what is there
Why even say hello
At all
Any day
