.small talk with voice.
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
