Unexpected Empathy

I have long admired the idea
of Unconditonal Positive Regard,
and the silence of Rogerian therapists.
Everytime cold callers phone up,
wanting my assent to some values
they are paid to try to covertly sell,
I try to sooth away their restlessness
and their need to lie, built on the fear
of rejection, by leaving the phone near me
so I can hear them talk. I say nothing.
