Bilge Water

Chattering, clattering,

Nothing much mattering,

Ceaseless profusion of audio splattering

Eardrum to eardrum

Wistfully scattering all that is new,

Newsworthy or no.

You know the one,

Jittering, twittering,

Much like the hummingbird

Jumping and flittering

Flower to flower,

Sliding and slithering

Gulping each morsel to

Make itself grow.

You stop to listen

All in your dithering.

Cannot believe so much

Aggregate blithering.

Just so much bilge water,

Nothing for keeping,

But nowhere to hide

And no cliff for leaping
