FOCUS
I really want to listen
to what you have to say.
I could listen to you all night long
would spend an eternity
hearing your tales
taking in your meter
flexing to your rhythm.
I wish I could stay
as you relay
all that you want to say.
But
I cannot.
I just can't listen to you
for more than moments
at a time.
I can't focus on your words
your phrases
your thoughts.
It takes me mere instants
to fly off-track
noticing your lips
your sparkling eyes
or the cross of your legs.
I lose attention
and look to other things
or hear only the muses sing
while you speak.
I want to listen to you
but I just get distracted.
