self absorbed talker

She never gets off the phone first I can clean my house and vacuum while she is on speaker She does not seem to hear the noises I am making Because they are not her noises, so they are inconsequential She tells me her stories, who she is arguing with this week What they said, how she took it, why she is angry She is perpetually angry and loves to blitz this anger down the phone line I am scrubbing my toilet now; she does not hear the flush It is not her noise Thus, it does not Interest her
