When those telepathy machines go public
can you maybe please
not get one?
I know
you’re an early adopter
of all sorts of tech
but
if you could just give this one a miss
I’d really appreciate it.

No
I’m sure it’s great.
Lets you read the minds
of your nearest and dearest
like the back of a comic book
– neat…

It’s just
there are some things
we should be able to keep private, right?
Thoughts, opinions
it’s better not to share.
Like
your thoughts on my plaid pants collection
and what you did with Chad?

No, I’m not cheating.
It’s not about that.
It’s about
the things
we’re too smart to share.
The ideas
we might have
about one another
that it would be better
we don’t ask,
don’t tell.

So
do you think
when telepathy
becomes available
it can remain unavailable
for us?

No?
Oh.
Neat.
