Internal Dialogue, Reflexive Poetry: Why Do We Listen to Idle Talk?

Posted on September 3, 2022September 4, 2022

There it is again, an incessent need to pay attention,
to things that aren’t meant for me. Stuck in suspension,
A much needed timeout, a breath to consider accountability.
Suddenly I see, my cheeks are burning, I’m not minding my business properly.

This lucidity is an opportunity to fine tune my way of being.
A space to cultivate, me, what might I be if I was to become, fully.
What will I see when the view releases everything into clarity?
What might I pursue if my limit was Infinity?
How far would I take such a pursuit, might it consume me too?
What thoughts would come to me from inside such a deep blue?

I’m past comprehension in gossip or trickery.
Over and above them. I’ve passed on. It’s time for a treat.
Or maybe I’m just weary of their reflections dead-eyes staring.
Sick of hearing about the same things continually, superimposing.
Only varying minutely. Just enough to agitate peace.

A burning question eminating; What are we doing?
