Conversation

Expatiating on whatever comes

from all the beats and thrums

of that plucked instrument
we might as well describe as “mind” –

catching fleeting aims in aimlessness –

attaching names, imagining

what kind of specificities we’d like

to find, and finding them;

the usefulness of pause –

the forceful clause commencing

with ahem – attempts at a relation:

the strangeness of a conversation.
