I listen to the tone of your voice
Every ounce of diction you use and
The way your lips move for words
And try to see what you mean
I look at your whole body's stance
The position of your arms and legs
The shifting of your shoulders and hips
How easy you stand or move
I try to look into your eyes with mine
But keep fading over your shoulder
I match your tone and pace of words
And remind myself again to smile
I think what will you like to hear
What won't you like me to say
Am I talking too much, too little
I calculate all my possible options
How many times have we just said
Something about me or you
are they even enough to be polite
Am I talking to fast again
I focus on the sound of your voice
But it is small in this loud room
I focus on the image of your face
But there is so much moving around
I promise I am in fact very interested
But I'm not sure that you can tell
Because I am working so very hard
to just talk to you
