I was wondering if you knew whether they're going to the show?
Yes, the weather there is terrible!
No, no, I want to know whether they're going to the show!!!
I already told you that the weather isn't good... in fact, it is awful
Look, I don't care whether the weather is terrible...
It is terrible isn't it? Awful even!
Do you understand what I am asking?
Yes, of course!
What am I asking then?
You just asked me to tell you what you are asking me!
That's absurd!
Yes, who would have ever thought that someone would ask someone else to tell that someone what they just asked someone else!!!
Anyway, as I was saying...
You were saying something?
Do you know whether they're going to the show?
Yes, the weather there is terrible! Awful even!
Do you know about the show?
Yes...
See those people over there?
What people?
Those people!
There are no people...
Well where did they go? They were there a minute ago!
Oh, didn't you know?
What?
They're at the show!

Maybe your poem is about people getting confused. Maybe the dumb one thought you were asking about the snow instead of show. Maybe communication is hard. Maybe they had dementia. I work with people with dementia. They have funny conversations.
You're pretty close... it is about how even though we all speak the same language, we don't seem to be able to understand one another. So in life we get confused and therefore, have trouble communicating what we really mean... Nice Shan, you got it!
