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
