I Want to Tell You
I wonder why saying how you feel makes so many people nervous. I have
friends not just one or two but many who can't say
anything much. Most of them listen but when it comes to
Saying Something Real like how they really are (and all of us every
one of us has to be a Mixed Bag just because we are Bags, and Mixed
after all) use words like Fine and Good though neither of these
is ever enough as though adjectives are ever complete. They just don't
want to say. And then there are those of us is my own particular
category those of us who want to say and say knowing
so much we will never understand Life in the Big Sense
Life in the Small Sense too. When someone asks how I am
I want to tell her. And tell her. ( I often wish
that she'd tell me. )
