communication.

you said
"talk to ME."
i said
"I don't want to talk."
you said
"talk about YOU!"
I said,
"oh, in that case, ok."
but it still took me twenty minutes
to say a sentence
that involved
the beginning words
"i like..."
that you prompted.
i realize now,
that the times I said
"fine wines"
and
"walks on the beach"
were not as funny
as usual
since we were talking
about "us."
um, sorry.
