The short version is expression is expression, a very simple thing and yet very difficult to communicate but it is for me at least a process of transferring the mind outwards to make up for a wasted time where very little got out.

The following is a doodle and a quick fire on sensitive / awkward / painful conversations that being emotively human we try to side step.

The Postponement

There is a full stop at the end of a line.
A pause
between breaths in uncomfortable conversation
before a watch is checked and feet move on.

Injury and damage is often perceived to be a physical thing; you hit someone, trip them up, throw something at them or otherwise cause them harm. In reality the wrong tone, timing or wording in something you say can have a greater effect and perhaps sometimes be more devastating as it can change your world and other peoples perspectives sometimes for the better other times for the worse. It may be deliberate, used in anger or simply a slip of the tongue but the effect can have the same results.
