I have worked out small talk
two people ask questions
of each other, neither
want an answer to
and without listening
to what the other comes up with
think of the next manoeuvre
until they are locked
in meaningless conversation
that no one can break
like music, a symphony
of nonsense with the guy
on symbols waiting
to crash out at the end
