Listen

To speak is to stumble, to hesitate, to detour and hit dead ends.
To listen is straightforward. You can always just listen.

I hear a listless sort of screeching.
Possibly the first cicadas of the year ...
Could be a Kaempfer cicada ...

Ot Maybe it's not a cicada, maybe it's a katydid or something else ...
