what words will i never say?

all the conversations i have in my head with all the people i talk to in my head that i don't write the letter i have composed in my head while not sleeping.  

all the words i have in my thoughts and my imagination that are hovering in the maze of my brain waiting for a forum or the letter or the phone call or the email or sitting in front of the computer writing the play i have in my head.  

though the conversations i may never have may be with people i will never meet as much as with people i may never see again or people i just saw a few minutes ago.  

and the conversations i may never have may be between two people that don't exist.  probably mostly with people that don't exist.  

a blank canvas where the words will appear and the conversations will start.  and start.  and start.  and start again.

so this is the beginning of conversations i may never have.

pati:  hi

sam:  hi you.

pati:  you look great.

sam:  thanks.  you look different.

pati:  really, how?

sam:  i don't know.  different.

pati:  different how?

sam:  i don't know.  i don't know.  i don't know.

pati: okay.  i get it.  you don't know.  fine.  i have to go.  it was weird seeing you.  

sam:  what do you mean, weird?

pat:  what do you mean what do i mean?   i gotta go.  see you sometime, i guess.

sam:  see you.
