Conversation XVIII

--Do you know?
Do you know your heart is like the
world's deepest trench in the Pacific--
the Mariana trench.

--No, I didn't know that
you even find trench in my heart!
And I was less interested in geography
So, I always escaped any geographic feature
be it mountain, ocean, or trench.

(They smiled)

--Do you know?
you are very good in hiding your feelings
Just like me!
You are good at acting
You are able to bring a smile
even if your heart is like a dry, parched field.

--No, I didn't know that
But, you are right!
No one can read me like
the way you read.

(They were sad)
