What goes on in your head when someone is talking and you don't want to listen?
Just like the prompt says, answer the question in any format. Examples: A child when a parent is scolding them, a coworker goes on for too long at a meeting, students in class, a patient when the doctor is giving bad news, etc. Use your imagination and your writing chops!

“What?”

Your lips are moving

But I can't understand

Your creation of conversation

Isn't going as you planned

But I'm not the only one who's not paying attention

If you were in the here and now

You could tell there's no comprehension

"Blah, blah, blah"

Waving your hands up in the air

It's almost kind of comical

Because you think somehow I care

I'll sit here patiently

Until you finally run out of words

Then nod my head accordingly

As I watch the hummingbirds

I am 21 years or older.
