Talk

She likes to talk

    her voice moves in spiderweb ways

feeling like crinkled newspaper
     on a dry desert of a sunday morning

endless threads of chatter
    woven tapestry of a ill-fitting sweater
       erratic stitching
  
She likes to talk

      but she has nothing to say

I think everyone has something to say but most people lack the apparatus to hear them. Perhaps she needs a stickier web material.

"endless threads of chatter.....erratic stitching...nothing to say." It always amazes me that sometimes these are the ones who cannot abide silence.
