Conversation is not a skill
Like driving a car
Many driving actions need to be
Ingrained
So we can act in an instant
Conversing takes an ever new

Ever present
Ever conscious of

Between us
May be no third person
May be only the first
When the grey cloth
Is lifted
We see
First—only—person

:- Doug.
