Fail To Hear
What is it you fail to hear
in "I have other plans?"
Is there something left unclear that is tamped on the sands?
What is it you fail to hear
in "this is quite enough?"
Is there something left unclear that to your brain is bluff?
What is it you fail to hear
in "please leave me alone?"
Is there something left unclear that demands one depone?
What is it you fail to hear
in "thank you, but no thanks?"
Is there something left unclear that causes mindless blanks?
What is it you fail to hear
in "it is time to go?"
Is there something left unclear that foils a tactful flow?
What is it you fail to hear
in "this is how I feel?"
Is there something left unclear that behooves an appeal?
