Those Conversations Poem by Estelle Koehler

Have you ever had those conversations?
The going back and forth sensation?

The accumulation of options. The fabrication of answers....
The fascination, with the hours long concentration, all because of one situation?
Because this one situation brought the exploration of a thousand combinations?
It's your consolation for giving no explanation.
The hesitation in that moment of socialization.
Facing them in suffocation, needing truth for communication, but not wanting the acceleration of alienation.

The constant speculation of how this conversation could have had its continuation.
There is a variety of options in compilation, in your mind, until one has a confirmation....that should have been the argumentation.

The realization comes hours after the end of that conversation.
