open ended conversation

on the radio
some call to say something
others call in
to be heard

walking down the street some talk
on the phone a long time
without pause for the other
is anyone really there?

always there are those
on the bus ceaselessly talking
fogging the window,
and have no phone

A sad but true - and acutely observed - commentary of out time, I think. Well put, indeed!

I like the distinction between those who want to talk and those who wish to be heard. This is full of truths.

Yeah, cool observation, there's a bloke in my pub that talks to himself, the only time anyone talks back to him is when he orders another drink.

Cheers!
