It Stutters, Yet
Our conversation stutters,
which
is not surprising, seeing
that
we're people of a certain age.
But having known each other
for
six decades, sister-brother,
we,
when one becomes uncoupled
from
a train of thought, the other
tends
to pipe up with a word for
which
the first was vainly searching---
makes
you wonder why we talk at all.
