Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

All Talk

talk talk talk
talk about everything 
everything but you and i

talk talk talk
avoiding the heart of it
the heart out of its depths

talk talk talk
while in silence
the emptiness grows

are we drifting apart
as we talk about everything
as we talk about nothing

talk talk talk
what about me
what about us
