Mrs Rapid Fire Talker

She talks fast
as if she is afraid
if she does not get it out
she might be interrupted

which amuses us
for she is the one
who does all the interrupting
in this lunch room

She is desperate now
for an audience
talking faster.
We flee to our rooms
to eat alone.

Hmmm...I wonder if she got the message? I doubt it. People like her never take stock of the situation. It's always me, me, me.

I am glad that so far she has not followed us to our rooms.
