Talk, talk,
talk, talk, talk!
A talking jag!
Well, better than a crying jag.
Any day. Any way.
I go leaping from subject to subject,
bewildering my captive audience.
Free association.
Segues.
New focus. Intensity.
Emotion.
Anything goes.
Gotta keep Œem on their toes!
Loneliness eats away;
friendship patches.
A listener who hears
A gift beyond price.
