Chillin with some acqauintances
pretending I have interest
I sigh
as I once again
play the role of the captive audience...
my mind starts to wander
as conversations gyrate all around me
I have no need to remember
what is being said
because I've heard it all before.
As I am laughing on cue
something sensually slowly comes into view
now it's time to play the game
of what's your name
is there a mutual attraction,
just as we are talking
a blocker comes in stalking
there's no more honor there's no more manners
why do I try at all.
I walk into another room
someones dancing
as the music booms
I can see new memories being formed
from peoples reactions,
suddenly I'm caught in a conversational flow
about something I don't want to know
and I am trying to remember
I must conceal that I want to go.
My resistance to the indulgence
of observing peoples interactions
are always shattered
as I go to the places they get together,
the need for us to gather
and
to talk about things that don't matter
continues to fascinate me
in the strangest way.

I walk into another room

My resistance to the indulgence
"The need for us to gather
and
to talk about things that don't matter
continues to fascinate me
in the strangest way"
Really?
Is something I'm sure you didn't say,
Who would listen if you did, or ask why
or... would they say,
Go on... in angry tone
If you did?
I like that word, "Indulgence"
It would would be a fine perfume that
smells like an old drunks breath
living on the street on Thanksgiving day,
You must let him in, live the dream
The add would say
Sorry, this is really a good poem, sorry for darkening the mood.Now I'm playing grandma... or the sweet aunt who is silent and cooks over a hot stove for days... with those lost eyes that say really...and make you feel extra guilty
Peace! |

Bar talk.. the non-speak language for the sake of hearing a voice besides your own. This poem speaks of a ballet; all the parts pre-scripted. The fascination for me is that I long to connect, and you beg the question in your last line…"why?".
As the drop of water in the pond..the talk may be inconsequential, but the ripples are mesmerizing.
You suggest that we need not be profound to be of value, and I concur!

| I couldn't but laugh at the first two stanzas, as I know this feeling all too well. Very welcome for the title btw. Very great closing stanza. I feel a lot of what is being conveyed here. Great job! |

Yep. Pretty much. Love how you wrote this, and even why you wrote it.
LOL at the blocker. Made me laugh. Good job.
