not really

you know what that infers, right?
the speaker has been droning on and on for thirty-seven minutes
I have no idea what prefaced this.
Not really, I admit.
she expresses surprise that I do not.
going on to explain
unaware I stopped listening twenty minutes ago
my longest attention span is seventeen minutes
