Conversations in Listening
Do you ever stop talking?
I don’t have anything to say,
Because you don’t hear me, anyway.
You’re too busy talking to listen.
My head’s splittin’.
Complaining, Explaining,
Ingratiating. He said, she said,
Spewing the thoughts in your head.
Vulgarity, Hilarity,
Are you comparing me,
I need clarity.
Repeating, it's a beating,
Your story’s so old, it’s been told.
Can you come up with something new?
I’d settle for hearing anything true.
Because you sure know a lot about bull crap.
God, you suck the energy out of me like, snap.
Your antidote is always better,
Because you’re a topper.
Of course, you’ve been there,
Done that.
My eulogy will make note of it,
’Cause I’m dying over here,
Or is it hear? Nor there.
You’re vomiting words everywhere,
And it's killing me.
