Some nights, lying in bed, I replay conversations that ended long ago. I rehearse what I should have said, calm now at 50 bpm, when I couldn't find the words at 120. I'm the actor, the opponent, and the only person in the audience.
'Inner Dialogue' is that conversation. I keep the safer seat, on solid ground. The version of me that disagrees sits out over the void, where I wouldn't dare. Neither of us has ever won.
