if i trade seats with you, in my mind

perhaps my perspective can change too

to consider how it would be received, the communication i wish to trade

when someones pauses to reflect on something shared or brought to light

gives me the impression that they care about what they say and what is right

in favor of a slower pace when in communion with another face, to make them feel important enough that i am listening

it is important to me that you feel connected and respected, because that’s what i want from you

let’s trade seats and consider each other first
