Talking is an art, The more talking done, The lesser the fear of talking At all, Whether alone, in front of close acquaintances, Or toward individuals unknown And nonexistent before. Admittingly, talking can be overdone Like chard stew, And talking on top of people… Well, it cannot be helped, But no one will receive a Pulitzer for it. Unless if a “good idea” sounds from one And ices the agreement cake. But beware of those ideas you wish to verbally patent In front of a gathering, For if you only wish, You may end up falling into the abyss Of a silence that traps not your mouth, But your will to speak, evaporating your words and Ideas that might have bravely forwarded discussion. Vanity, thy name is Groupthink: What talk might arise next When no talk arose at all?
I was told once that I have the gift of gab and...well...that individual was onto something lol.
