Talking To the Air
People talking to themselves
When strolling down the street
At one time were the type of folks
You wouldn’t want to meet.
But ear buds linked to cell phones
Have upended that routine,
For everybody walks and talks
To listeners unseen.
So nowadays, when someone
Is conversing as he struts,
You can’t distinguish who is sane
From one who’s likely nuts.
