Feelings Evoked

aIn an information culture,
evocation is more important;than
explicit saying  counts against us.
People need to be well
into believing
being educated is more
than information:
 the incoherencies
 what they’re saying,
the musicality
 of people’s voices
and intonations;
would get more
from them.
Effectively, psychoanalysis is
something other, not the coherences;
 it listens for words
that are saying more
It’s got something to do with  being;
it’s a form of listening,
not distracted by incoherence
but evoked by it.
Because it hears what’s underneath
Within or hiding.
Wanting to be found
But unable to get the words
