If I ask someone a question
and they hear it
yet don’t respond,
that IS a response.
It means
this someone knows
the answer isn’t
what I want to hear
and/or
she doesn’t want
to be on record
as saying it.
If knowing the answer
is important
to me,
to the business
I’m building,
I will try another tactic
to get a solid answer,
an answer
that couldn’t be misinterpreted.
But my assumptions
might now be different.
I’ll look for clues
the answer ISN’T
what I want it to be.
No answer
IS an answer.
