This world has taught me that when you tell someone a story,
They will be waiting in anticipation
not paying attention,
but in a hurry
just so they can tell you theirs.
Ignorant of the fact that I realize it.
Ignorant of the fact that hurts me.

Well, this one time I told someone a story and...
Just kidding.
Your poem and your accompanying photo were both very personal. Thanks for sharing.
