guilty

i'm plugged into my...
Music/podcast/radio..

The volume is not on too loud
So that i can hear my phone ring..
Might miss that all important call..
You are our lucky toto winner!
Congratulations you have won..
One beeeleeeionn dollars!!!!!

then some smartypants
Standing next to me will call me...
They want to ask me a question..
They want to tell me something...
Whatever it is...
It needs my attention...

I pretend that i don't heaR
Because my heart is wishing that they would just go away...
But in the end if it is important enough...
They will tap me on the shoulder...
Sigh
In the end i always end up attending to the matter

But yes...
I am guilty..
Sometimes
Of practicising that line..
I'm not deaf.. I'm just ignoring you.

Sometimes though...
I really don't hear them...
On days when my sinuses are acting up...
So you could also say...
Its training
HEH
