That's not poetry, those are greeting cards
And not very good ones at that
You call yourself a poet, who are you kidding

    In times past
    A friend and I would sit in a theater
    Talking about this and that
    And discover that a near person
    Was listening and following our conversation.

    At that point
    We some times would launch into a discussion
    Of things most devious
    Sometimes lowering our voices
    So that the 'intruder' straining to hear
    Would still not know what we were talking about.

    Finally the game would end with the beginning
    Of the program.
    But we often wondered what
    Thoughts remained
    With the listener.

    Keep talking to yourself,
    Others are listening.
