An expectation can be misunderstood,
and, after the fact,
it feels like an undue demand.
Incomplete communication…
can become a blustery exchange –
clueless cross words.
The root of the problem
is oftentimes a false notion
from an incomplete conversation.
To listen after speaking
is important for being heard clearly,
and makes for proper reacting.
Talking simply the simple talk…
promotes cordial responses –
careful come backs
The last word spoken is rarely the final word,
confusion ensues
without complete explanation
The final word declared is never the last word,
delusion follows
with unforeseen inferences
Avoid conditional demands
and, during the act,
it feels like a joyful expectation.
