Or keep silence at bay?\nDo I think someone listens; do I think they care?\nCan't I see their glazed look and how blankly they stare?\n\nYes, they smile, and they nod and pretend to agree\nThough they haven't a clue what I've said, actually.\nThey just wait for a pause in my mind-numbing chatter\nSo they can say, \"Have a good day!\" and then scatter.\n\nBut does that deter me?  Most definitely not?\nFor I'm most determined to continue my plot.\nI just trap my next victim and pick up the thread,\nBrashly unmindful of their countenance of dread.\n\nNow it's no fun to listen, that point is quite clear.\nIt's easy on the voice but quite hard on the ear.\nI won't argue the fact that I'm boring.  Tis true.\nBut if you think I'm dull, you should listen to you.\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>                                       by Yvonne Golden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>                                       10\/16\/22<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do I speak when I&#8217;ve nothing to say?
