Talking to a Wall.

So, as I was saying –

Wait, what?

No, no, I'm talking.

Not you; me.

Are you listening?

See my mouth moving?

Listen to the words flow freely?

Oh, you can't?

Of course not,

You're rambling nonsense,

And when I speak,

You hear, but don't listen.

Talk over me, even.

I'm just a decoration,

You're pretty little lawn ornament.

Hello? Pay attention!

I'm still ranting!

But you're talking about your life.

I'll never get my chance, right?

Horrible people,

And still you ignore me!

It's not like talking to a wall,

A wall will listen.

No, it's like being the wall,

Being talked to,

With no give - just take.

Joy.
