Useless Conversation

Almost a whisper the ear strains to hear,

Caught in a circle with no place to go.

Merely a greeting, a "how do you do?"

Rhetorical. Really not wanting to know.

 

Yesterday's detail reviewed once again.

Polite chit-chat, etchings mundane.

Simple retelling of soap opera lives

Can drive thinking people to think they're insane.

 

Wrapped up in newspaper, out with the trash...

Like a fish three days after it's caught.

Time better spent immersed in invention,

The simple art of common thought.
