i'm listening, go on...

i'm a patient listener
until i'm not.
if the story goes on too long,
and a mother
or a cat is involved,
or the weather, i tend
to drift off.
at this point she taps
my knee, and says,
are you listening, to which
i reply, of course i am.
go on with your story.
i smell what you're cooking.
