the under sharers

there are two
kinds of conversationalists.

those that over share
and those that under share.

with one, you find out everything
they've ever said
or done

over the last twenty years.
each bump
or bruise in the road.

their children,
their daughters, their son.

a husband or lover still in
the mix despite all

the pain they've done.

they show you their scars,
their
pay stubs, their photos and texts.

they tell you about their
sex life.  their money problems.

a run in their hose.

and then there are the under
sharers, the quiet ones that listen.

calm and reposed.

with them there is little
you will ever know.

i like them.
