it may be a small voice

small talk

strong syllables

rather than shouted blasphemy

is that what you mean by small talk?



or do you mean idle conversation

about nothing in particular



i can do that too



we talked about carrots that evening

prompted by a stranger



how do you cook them or do you

eat them raw and grated



great that one can cut them differing shapes



she said she decides how to cut them  according

to the accompanying veg

or company



you know if you are with friends it is good to

eat them easy

without bits hanging out

of the mouth



is that what you mean by small talk?



or do you mean words of one

part

not too many syllables like

that last word there



or tiny words squeaked like a mouse

very quietly



i can do that too



i can write small talk with voice
