I don’t feel comfortable

in the small talk,

it comes out

the wrong,

unhelpful, inconsequential

and full of near sighted opinions

that are

immovable, restricted

and deaf.

Give me

the big conversation, one of

depth,

one that can be easily followed

and can create

illumination,

loud voices of agreement

or of argument

but in which thankfully never comes

down to

asking someone

just how much their house

is worth
