Talking To The Wall
Waiting for your call is a hopeless dream.
Talking to the wall
is a silent scream.
Waiting for your call is a fruitless crop.
Talking to the wall
is a glottal stop.
Waiting for your call is a thankless slog.
Talking to the wall
is a fetter clog.
Waiting for your call is a pointless game.
Talking to the wall
is a dismal shame.
Waiting for your call is a mindless stance.
Talking to the wall
is a stupid trance.
Waiting for your call is a worthless deal.
Talking to the wall
is a futile spiel.
