Brent, I really like this one. Especially after the conversation we had. And, of course I sense that biting sarcasm of yours which I happen to enjoy in this brief,clear description of an exchange between two people that seems to end an a realization of a misunderstanding and how misunderstandings are really based in how and the way we communicate? And then there is the randomness of language. . .Yikes! At least, that is what I gather from it.

Popped in my head last night. Your Facebook assaults might have had something to do with it.
Glad to see the assault got you thinking poetry. Mission accomplished!
I like that your first poem in some time examines dual meanings, like the many puns you wield. Quintessential Vogelman.
Your poem also reminds me of a Jon Stewart quote:
"If 'con' is the opposite of pro, then isn't Congress the opposite of progress? Or did we just fucking blow your mind?!?"
Hi Everyone!

Nice to see you here, Nooshin! Hope all is well! You gonna post some poetry of your own?
Ha. It worked. I always admire the simplicity and wit in your work. This is no exception.
