Quiet sober love
rises with the morning Sun;
Unspoken desire
lingers from the night before;
Small talk has found the silence.
Quick with the small talk;
Surrounded by attention,
still you stand alone;
Your broken heart in your eyes;
Do you see me? I see you.
Predictable
Weather or not
Small talk
When the oceans stop
All bets will be off

Hurting Small Talk
Sometimes gossip sprouts
Sowing deceptive stories.
Seeming true, but not—

The man in the elevator, alas!
Struck a small talk with a lady of class.
Was dealt a bad card,
Was sucker-punched hard -
Dared to ask if she will go down, badass!
Sixteen unique individuals
sit on sixteen washing machines.
As they make small-talk
they stare at sixteen dryers, all in a row
chugging and churning to the same hum.
Frost and Thoreau were going for a walk.
Frost said I can make a poem from a sock.
Thoreau laughed hard
At this braggish bard
Published a poem from this crazy small talk.
A US born painter was Albert York
preferred action to small talk
American vanitas was his style*
small,minimal lacking guile

F ar from free are we.
R emoved from society.
E ntirely caught up.
E mailing and texting.
T urn off your phone.
E xchange small talk.
X and hug each other.
T ouch reality.
a tender smile
brings rapport,
a seesaw thrill
releases
a tense tang,
a humorous
aside
banishes dread,
reminences
flood memory
with delight
I nod my head and smile again
The burning creases brand my skin
A scar I will forever wear
There's nothing left to talk about
Pretend to hear; pretend to care
I fear my words have all run out.
The truth of life
Is hidden in your small talks
Now look at the views
On the photo how peaceful it is
For today's running time
It becomes emotional
To stay among the loved ones and talk.
My teeth number thirty-two.
I use some to bite. I use some to chew.
In this way, I specialize.
Don't get me started on my nose and eyes.
Oh dear, this small talk's going south.
How many teeth are in your mouth?

Listen to poem:
(Another childhood or teen years poem.)
Newsprint small talk
in Mediocrity's lead pot
rustles and gossips while,
splashed spectacularly across
the speckled page of
Society's intellect,
a murder making column one
hides the hushed massacre
of minds.
A sadistic killer, who enjoys it with relish
A woman desperately in want of love
The age numbers small talk turns to relic
A paedophile never at rest until he gave
A robber on the prowl seeking victims.
Broken hearts need that need mending.

Inside I’m an emerald empath
Now I can be myself at home
Teal reveals my polite laugh
Ready to red reveal if not alone
Onyx opinions kept close to chest
Violet dimensions personal preference
Every party is like a pop test
Rendezvous with raspberry reference
Thankful for small talk and concession
I have longed for a visitor, to knock upon my door
and indulge me with stories,
from another shore.
Someone with whom,I may wile away the hours,
conversing about life...
not just the rain showers

Listen to poem:
Small Talk Delayed
David J Walker
The days dawn falling in
Uncertain brokenness
Strangeness
came in waves
of multicolored
Cool sunrays
Nothing would be the same
He said
But nothing ever is
Instead
Of small talk delayed
The gardener went about
his business
Pruning the garden
Small talk
Body Talk
Flirtatious glances
Beguiling smiles
Warm electricity
Passion tingling
Eyes that tease
Torment and tantalize
Desire on every breath
On every quiver of the lip
Rhythm of bodies craving
That erotic embrace
The delectably sublime
Act of seduction

small talks
on long walks
reminds me of love
enjoying the view
with a lover
puts my mind at ease
small talks
on long walks
taking in
the summer breeze
writing our names
in the sand
praying they won't wash away
like on a driveway with chalk
if there's one thing
i enjoy with you
it's small talk
on a long walk
GYNECOLOGIST
Grappling to make small talk:
“Good morning,” he begins.
“Gee, I like your cute socks”
Good grief don’t speak to me…
Gaining back my pale face
Gynecologist gaff!

True Story!
*Z - Zelensky
*P - Putin
Z - "I've signed mines."
P - "Mines as well."
Z - "Then shall we."
P - "To our dinners."
Z - "Hope it's not Borscht."
P - "Could be, Dim Sum."
Z - "Mayhaps, Sushi"
P - "How was your dinner?"
Z - "The hot water need ..."
P - "... More salt, I agree."
Z - "Oh, you've washed your hands."
P - "Of the whole matter."
oh my, you're splendid
like a fern growing backwards
„you hack writer“
you're a castellanus at 9 PM
after the dinner rich in miracles
hate re-living the mundane moments
over
and over
and over
and over
so sick of the everyday small talk.
still magnetized by the oddities.
this is the right way, not vice versa.
So much to say,
So little time;
Rush through each day,
No time to rhyme.
So much to do,
So many things;
To win and woo,
No time to sing.
So much to gain,
So put things off;
Bear hurts and pains,
Live with odd cough.
So much to live,
No time for grief;
So give and give,
For life is brief.
