To Converse in real terms…

How many times is conversation
Stripped to the bone?
One eye looking for
A way of escape?
Lists of to-do being
The compelling Master.
Words offered mere truisms
Neutered expressions of convention.
Silly filler convention.
No value added.


If you note  that wavering eye
That lusting to have
The Last Word.
Those impatient sighs
Drop the Sucker
For the foolish
Waste of time/hope that it is.
“We really must get together again.”
Not bloody likely.
