People talking around
a toilet bowl,
comparing turds
- a phenomenon
witnessed
far too many times,
every -
single -
day.

How often do you
find yourself
in a conversation
of no real value
at all,
simply because
it's a light topic
and makes for
easy conversation.
How often do you pass on thinking?

There's a kind of conversation
that requires very little
conscious effort, almost like
talking in your sleep.
This makes for at least 98%
of every conversation.
Why do we ever bother awake?

Close your eyes,
Shut your ears, and
Swallow your tongue.

Or

Keep speaking,
And I'll go back to sleep.
