Novel Conversations

I wish I was a character in a novel My conversations would be meticulously crafted I would never be at a loss for....words There wouldn't be long awkward Silences Between sentences I would never have to repeat myself I would never have to repeat myself I would never be unblurred No i said misheard My thoughts wouldn't s-s-stutter right out of the gate Causing a ten word pile-up in my mouth I wish I could make life more novel I just want to trim away all the fat All the conversational excess To get to the real meat of it Do away with all conversational trivialities And just move the plot forward

Don't wish your life away! Someday, maybe many years from now, you'll look back and wish time had not passed so quickly. Relax and enjoy. Those "trivialities" will be the things you will miss the most. I enjoy reading your poems, Pat. Keep writing, since you don't like talking.
