CHIT CHAT CHATTER By Tom Jensen
Chit chat chatter...
Can you hear their teeth rattle
As if underneath the warm breath
Of a baby and his rattle
Chit chat chatter...
Does it really matter
Speaking just to fill one's idle time
Without expressing what's on your mind
Chit chat chatter...
All the words blend together
Like the birds of a flock
Birds of the same feather
Chit chat chatter...
As words end up in a blender
And the thoughts get lost
When there's no core at the center
Chit chat chatter...
From the circling tongues
Never ending, never starting
Once the talking has begun
Chit chat chatter...
Sometimes the words hurt
Sometimes the words flatter
To me it all sounds the same
Chit chat chatter...
As their oohs and their ahhs
Resemble goos and gahs
One's candle of thought
Slowly loses its flame
