to perceive. interactions between people. juxtapositions. silent
conversations. the body. the eyes. the difference between what is said. and
what is really said. so fabulous. when you meet someone who you can talk to
in that way. without words. a look. a smile. and yes. you both know.
observing interrelations of others around. him. her. yes. you know.
watching stories unfold. while others sit unawares. and missing it when you
have no one to talk to like this. the need to communicate. have someone
understand you. in a way others do not understand.
rene is one of those unawares. hes never learned to listen. to talk. to
watch everyone and thing. understand what is going on. watch how the
relations between people change as they move about a room. he misses the
subtlety. and as he says. there are many things he does not get.
then. as tabitha says. sometimes you can be so wrong. i could be smiling
at mary and joe stumbling over words of new found lust. and you. you could
be watching the cat play with joes shoelaces. joe unaware. and were smiling
at each other. knowing we know what each other is thinking. but we dont.
i see mary and joe. you see a cat. but we both see each other. smiling. so
wrong.
