big talk

I have

little interest

in the things

people say

to

each other

 

where is

the wonder

in life's

leisurely

laps

around

tracks

that go

no where?

 

there are things

I want to know

about some people

 

for others,

I can

only

maintain

 

the small talk

the senseless exchanges

the robotic responses

to the same questions

 

someone

someday

will come

along

 

and he'll talk

the big talk

 

everything

he says

will be

remembered

 

it will

caress

your

intellect

 

it will

enchant

your soul

 

it will

whisper

wisdom's

wonder

 

it will cry

whimsical

wishes

 

it will laugh

at the other people

who will never understand

 

the big talk
