On Small Talk


1/22/24



Ask me what my favorite color is
and afterwards we'll discuss the things that make us human

Good, bad, and ugly,
I don't mind holding space for that kind of thing


Me and you and you and me
Mirror, mirror
little neurons

Link your mind to mine
and we'll deconstruct ourselves
arrange the pieces out on a table
and lay siege to the limits of our understanding.

In this way,
might it not be possible to figure out where it is that
our neurosis's intersect?

Me and you and you and me
Mirror, mirror.
little neurons


In this way,
might it not be possible to share
in a moment of what is often commonly referred to as

Connection?


Could it be possible that
at the end of the day,

Perhaps we are not so different?


You're looking a little uncomfortable now,
Your eyebrows doing that inwardly furrowed thing
which typically indicates unease

Was it something I said?

Where are you going?

Was I making too much eye contact again?
