Think of all the people talking
On cell phones
Right
Now
Talking about nothing
That matters
Or everything
“Bring home Chinese food.”
“Our daughter failed Algebra.”
“Did you pay the electric bill?”
The philosophy of bullshit
The metaphysics of lies
Too many words
Too many nights
We need more silence
Fewer
Proclamations
Decrees
Opinions
We’re not as great
Or as bad
As we think
Not as cruel
Or as benevolent
Not as greedy
Or as generous
Just ordinary people
Talking
While Stumbling
Toward
Transformation
