Listen

It's not easy, wearing these.
You like loud music, large crowds.
I'd rather talk one-to-one.
So I stay on the outside.
That way, fewer people see me stumble.
I smile and nod,
And hope no more is required.
I really do try my best.
You could too.

Speak a little clearer please, I think.
Surely that's common sense.

Obviously not.

Maybe I should point it out.
But you would take that as being rude.

I don't hear something you say.
Pardon?
Never mind. It doesn't matter.
Yes.
It does.
You don't have to push me further away.
You could try.


I can hear you perfectly.
