Small Talk

 

Spinning idle dialogue in the vortex of biography

History and travelogue, the four next sights I mean to see

Filling lungs and setting sail on the High Seas of Recounting

Wagging tongues and chasing tail: Relevance fees are mounting

Lubricating interactions, pre-recorded testimony

Tact evading lax attraction, cheap insurance for the lonely

 

Silence is golden but ever so rare

It’ll never get old ‘cause it’s so seldom there

 

So celebrate a syllable but don’t mince the meaning

Empty space is fillable but lately since I’m leaning

Toward reserving presentation until content with content

I’m preserving resignation with nil defense of nonsense

With that I will now take my leave, walk away, retract support

For I will never find reprieve until small talk’s a contact sport.
