the conversation

there comes a point in
the conversation
when you make a mental note
of the one
you're conversing with,
judging them
as either dumb as rocks,
or rather smart, perhaps
way smarter than you
believe you are.
each is mildly upsetting.
you say nothing, of course.
that would be rude
and impolite, but you take
it home with you
and remember the talk.
