But the shy etheral buggers generally don't.

Maybe we are blind

Meanwhile sun smiles on autumn

Why are we arty personnnes?

 the number of times

 I go to contact on phone or computer 

a specific person about a specific thing 

and look for their address or a specific thing to communicate 

because I want to and  then I get  distracted by something else

into something else and a 'you can, you can' mentality- 

wasteful disillusioning and mind numbing

and then time has gone

and I forget what I was trying to do
