talking to oneself

talking to oneself,
i did it today,
and know when i say
that’s not what it is at all.

it is speaking to the spirit
of friend or loved one,
absent for the moment
by a nick in time.

It does happen sometimes. Sometimes we are speaking to ourselves aloud. Sometimes, we are speaking to a person absent or no longer living, or removed by space or time; or, we are speaking to the person who was standing there just a moment before. In any of those cases, it's not just empty air, or wasted words.
