untitled

let me
Down,
You
let me
Down
from here
squint
and read
her lips
as
sound
no longer
travels
but you
don’t
look up
save to
catch a glimpse
beneath her skirt

Yeah, communicating with someone whose entire vocabulary consists of grunts and squeaks can be challenging.

Advice, oh I don't know I guess if all else fails just stick a boob in his mouth.

"if all else fails just stick a boob in his mouth.":

Uh..."grunt, squeek, whaaa, grunt, grunt, squeek"?

You kow what else is hard, trying to communicate with a whole bunch of people who have a fully developed, complex language that they share, but you don't understand. You can't draw pictures for everything. I am often misunderstood here, and sometimes people get angry at me. I also do my fair share at misunderstanding, which also leads to ...people getting angry at me. sigh.

And yet sometimes communicating is soooooooooo easy. If it's always hard, you've got a problem and may need to seek help. but then to get help you'll probably have to communicate, and shit, here we are again!

Sometimes the best way to communicate is to be there, as a presence, without saying a word at all.

Proximal vs verbal communication, sometimes all there is to say is nothing.
