At a formal dinner party with etiquette and laughter
A half empty glass of champagne is in your hand
I listen to your slurred speech and deep laughter
And look at the others who genuinely display interest
While nodding my head with a fake smile
I make eye contact occasionally, a simple formality
As you talk about yourself and your experiences
I begin to wonder...
Wouldn't it be more interesting
for me to talk about myself?

Most people love to talk about themselves. You know who you are.
