Yeah maybe the text was differently worded than what I imagined?

I thought,
hurray,
A new person
and opened
about my
interests
in television
and cooking
and then
the
texts
stopped.
Then for a moment
there was a possibility
maybe they
didn't
get the text?
But nay,
the possibility
is long gone now
And it's possible
my text
sounded very different
to the receipient
than it did to me,
that's how
the world is, innit
where everybody
lives in the bubble
of their own
cultural context
and the shared knowledge
of words, and meanings
and memes, if I may
is lost
among the cacophony
of
individual
group
identities.
The world is richer,
it's possible
but now
it's a tower
of cultural babel
where nobody
understands
anybody else.
