Conversation....or lack thereof

I'm happy to be involved in the first Play it Again, Toads! Thanks to imaginary garden with real toads. I decided to go with Archive #1 working conversation into a poem!

Hey what's up?

Not much you?

Nothing really.

Nothing. Really?

Overly exaggerated menial talks

Lead to such insincere formalities 

How's the weather?

Having lost interest in our own words 

We talk as if no one is listening

The most empty of words; small talk

Wasting time and imprisoning

Locked in a vaccuum 

Void of importance

Learning shortcuts

Social avoidance
