Listening Part 1

2:1 - that is the ratio of ears to mouths we as human have. However, many of us spend more time talking than listening. Do you miss important points or misunderstand because you focus more on your response than listening to what the other person is saying?  

Stop interrupting
With your pre-formed response. 

The sentence fragment

                                           h

                                              a

                                                  n

                                                     g

                                                        s

In midair
Cut short
With a glare
Of eyes, smug in their insight.

Once again,
What could have been
A deepening,
A sweetening
Instead became
A game
Of who could be more right.
