Could we just make a rule —

Let’s be kind
Let’s stop
 with the self promotion 
Take a minute

Honestly 
Wholeheartedly 
Openmindedly 
Not-yet-taking-a-breath-for-the-next-sentence —
Listen

What I would give for a moment
of an active ear
satelliting my way
A thousand bucks
An endless loop of thanks
A tear for sure
Idk
A lot

No one teaches
such a valuable skill
Except the 
birds
heads cocked
for the inching of ants 
And 
the tree trunks
in their standing 
Stock still
Leaves
motioning bare intent
in subtle breeze

They know listening
Their trunks
a large bark of ear
pressed to the wind
