Chatter

chatter
continuous
banter which numbs the brain
chafing background noise that belies
patience and composure squandered away
meaningless, dreary remarks told
about nothing central
drifting weary
chatter

(Isn't Kash a great editor?)...Tanya, u captured so much background noise with your ricta-m on chatter. I was all caught up in its powerful vocab and MOTION. Enjoyed your work this afternoon. Gwendolen
