Knockout
he argues
vehemently
each concept
punctuated with a flout
she listens
ingloriously
cowed
withered with doubt
he gestures
overpowering
pacing
waving hands about
she nods
acquiescing
arms crossed
face in a pout
he hovers
imposing
conclusion
assured in the rout
she whispers an inquiry
focused
astute
without a shout
he flounders
flummoxed
blushes turns briskly away
conceding the bout

Author's Note
A friend commented about my calm demeanor during a two-hour business meeting: i”t’s amazing you sat through the meeting quiet as a mouse until the last two minutes, then summarize the conversation and blow things apart with a question”. Usually pissed off the managers, which made my day.
