On One's Onus

Describe the conversation...

The mood, the topic:
Casually passing time;
A polemic concerning time spent.

Instructions--with the guide:
A speculative, non-specific,
Trial and error reference loop.

Express concerns, upsets--
Sympathy, tendency, I wonder-
Speak, imponderable curiosities.

Because of appearances,
What would other people
Group think?

Masking misgivings:
Conventional, practical wisdom;
Bluff and slough off; evasive vagueness.

The comment, "what ever you do
Is best, despite my advice--
Trust yourself."

... Agree to talk later.
