Bickering


I'm learning that
Most people bicker
Fight
Argue
Behind closed doors.

When 
is 
this 
learnt
And why?

Add to the silent questions:
Does this one bicker?
Does this one fight?
Is right all that matters?
Is this form of misery fleeting or held closely?

When,
When did they start protecting themselves from the other?
Why,
Why are they so invested?
What makes this the mode of being?

I miss the soft voice
I miss the,
'I can't remember...'
Code for ,'It doesn't matter' or 
'How important is this?' 

The silent questions. 
And statement of sorts. 
I miss this. I miss it. 
There's was nothing to bicker about...there was no argument. 
Just a look to the distance and sometimes a genuine shrug.

Someday they will listen and find joy in hearing.
