being linear
at first it seems like a limitation, doesn't it? I can't carry on two conversations at once. when people try, I lose both. I can't listen to music and what someone says about it, I can do either or. I can't write a poem and listen to you. and I suppose it is a limitation. take this with at least a grain of salt, but almost any woman I know can carry on more than one conversation at a time, can write a letter and talk to someone else while she does so, crimeney, can balance her checkbook while she talks on the phone! I am in awe. truly. what I find impossible, they do normally. I've even seen a young woman walking down a mallway, reading a book. what? isn't part of the point of walking down a mallway to window-shop? well, but I can be linear very well. I can get dressed and then drive. I can eat and then watch television. I can write a poem and then write another. yes, I appreciate being linear, but sometimes ruefully.
