repost from 2007 prompted by Eve's contest theme

Sounds casual and shallow Distracting peripheral; Reserved,distant and unreciprocal. We say hello but do not talk Never revealing what we feel, Reserved,remote and unreal; Hearing but never listening. We say hello but never talk. Hastily in a hurry Missed unsaid worry; Intimacy stays untried. We say hello but never talk Missing meaningful content And unable to relate; Fearing to share or participate. We say hello but do not talk. Heart felt feelings are witheld Thoughts we secrete and suppress; Avoiding real acquaintance we say hello but do not talk

The repetition of the phrase "we say hello but do not talk" reiterates the hellos that "Fear to share or participate." A psychologically brilliance.
