*Sounds muffled, talking*
As I woke this morning
as they usually do begin
To use my aid to clarity

With that as I read your lips,
I can understand the second time,

But I usually just take a guess,
And you said its time to get up,

*Words mumbled*
And I asked you to repeat
Trying to match up the sounds
With the words in my head i've learnt

I take a brave guess and hope i'm right,
For I live in fear sometimes,

That I may get it wrong,
In some embrassing situation.

It takes a few minutes for me to focus in as well. The sad thing is I have a hard time focusing in all day.

Good read,

this piece stimulates the mind. Is it lack of focus due to fatigue, or is it really the fact that we hear what we want to hear and filter out other things too unpleasant to contemplate... nice write.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Moon Dust:  I really recognize this situation.  I think my husband mumbles and he thinks I do, so a great time is had by all!
