Total Portion                                                         

I heard half the conversation

so in my estimation

a one-sided all

but it is certainly open to debate

that since the invisible was intestate

to my unprivileged ears

and the words never delivered in arrears

I gleaned only fifty percent

of the entire so just a moiety of the exchange

but to my mind, I can arrange

shards of question and response

into a tidy frame. Her speech is full

in its content

for my purpose and intent,

half a whole is still one complete.
