Some people are about
small talk all or most of
the time
they seem able to small
talk almost incessantly
some hang out in places
where they small talk
for hours
me, I couldn’t do that
I’d get too bored
except with a woman
I loved
I could listen to her
small talk endlessly
as if her words
were the most important
words on the planet
as if her words
were like the words from
an angel talking to me
I guess love can make
small talk as big and
as wonderful as if the
words poured right
out of the heavens –
at least for me.
Bob Boyd
