Exchanges made

Ideas then parlayed

Into pools of wonder

As images plunder



Good words spoken

As people are hoping

Relationships will come

Instead of being dumbed



By many abusive phrases

Heard through the ages

As people come and go

Pretending to enjoy show



As they eat bagels and jam

And play with colors in hand

For their lives are now empty

As they seek more and plenty



But the only real way to open

Interchanges so well spoken

Is to deal with good thought

Instead of rumors bought ...



- Tristram
