women
don't say what they mean
so they say
nothing

which means
everything

meaning
nothing

avoidance of questions
chit chat
tick talk
to the second hand stuck

clock

never had one quite like this
took the bait
squirmed away

saved it
she pursued it
squirmed away
for another day

ask her to make a decision
friends, lovers, or nothing

reply as if nothing had been said

chit chat
tick talk
to the second hand stuck

clock

click click click
nothing moves

only time

Though women may not totally appreciate this it is true women love to chit chat and I believe that's what makes the world go round. Thanks for the nice read.

Yann, it is the consensus of my male friends what you said is true. They want to keep you on the line, hooked. The quiz is, for them, can you just engage them in the everyday, without the chase, without quest to woo, until what ever decision comes, if there ever be one. They still got their fish, to eat, set free or through in the aquarium.   ("throw" I believe that was a freudian spell slip of mine)

Poetal, you're a GREAT new addition, here, welcome to pip, I've been enjoying reading you, and your comments. Your so right about the chit chat. Thanks, look forward to hearing more from ya.
