Small Talk

Should be made obsolete

Good morning, how are you?
OMG don’t answer that, unless you’re fine and well,
The question wouldn’t have been asked
If they seriously thought you’d tell.
Small Talk!!!

As you walk into the doctors reception
You’ll be asked, “How are you today?”
Hello………You’re at a doctors surgery
Seriously, what do they want you to say?
Small Talk!!!

Small Talk is one of those social pleasantries
That is inherently unpleasant,
An introverts kryptonite
Society needs to make obsolescent!!!

Small Talk creates boundaries between people
It flees from depth and meaning,
Personal questions are inappropriate
And any emotion un-seeming!!!

Small Talk allows two people
To hold an entire conversation,
Without the need to get to know one another
And authenticity dies in relation!!!
