Our communication,
a volleyball game with a wall instead
of a net
I have missed so many shots
and who can be at fault?
We hope for a volley
juggling give and take
with words received
understood and sent back over
to be met with the same
effort and determination
to make it through
to continue.
Instead we score points
off each other
shots both trick and foul
hoping the other person misses
and shows himself at fault.
At least Tennis has love
This feels like competition
