Observation And Edutainment
You've been doing that intently for hours
I'm not sure what the actions add up to
Nor the sounds they might make if One was to hear them
Yes, I'm in the same room
Same spot, the recliner
Rocking, pushing with my foot, curled sideways
Nary a glance over my way - you're busy
I have no idea what you're doing
At all
Haven't asked
Its not that I'm not interested
Just far too busy watching your movements
Maybe you'll tell me later...
