“A Dialogue About Nothing“
August: “April, let’s have a conversation.”
April: “Why do want to do that?
August shrugged and said, “I don’t know. It’s just something to do.”
April: “OK August. Let’s do it.”
August: “Do what?”
April sighed: “A conversation. Don’t you remember your proposal?”
August: “My proposal? Did I make a proposal?”
April: “Yes August. You just proposed that we have a conversation.”
August: “Oh yeah. I did make that proposal. I just wasn’t thinking of it as a proposal.”
April: “Well, what were you thinking it was?”
August: “Just something to do, that’s all.”
April: “Well, what would you like to converse about?”
August: “I really hadn’t thought about the subject matter.”
April: “Well, what if I choose the subject matter for our conversation?”
August: “OK April. What would you like to talk about?”
April: “I can’t decide.”
August: “Why not?”
April: “Well, there are so many different things we could discuss, like the proverbial kid who walks into a candy store and sees all the many things she could buy; but, she only has one dollar, so she wants to make her choices very special.”
August: “Sounds like you’re getting serious about this.”
April: “What do you mean, August?”
August: “I mean you’re being careful.”
April: “Well, it’s just my nature to try to do my best.”
August: “Well, I like your nature, April.”
April: “What do you mean, August?”
August: “I mean that your sincerity of heart is something I love about you, April.”
April: “August, do you love me?”
August: “Yes, I love you, April.”
April: “August, this conversation is getting loverly.”
August: “That word loverly reminds me of the song in “My Fair Lady:” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”
April: “August, let’s listen to that song.”
August: “OK.”
