YOU TALK TOO MUCH!

We were fine, yesterday
and the day before.
When we met, you were quiet
hardly a word spoken.
Now instead of the silence
words keep thundering past-
no time for breathing?
How do you do it!?
Not even a gasp.

You just won’t shut-up!
I’m telling you
you talk too much.
Keep your gums from flappin’
you’re driven me to panic.

I didn’t realize
behind those quiet eyes
something was brewing
verbally initialized.

That demon bad!?
By god you’re worse-
how can someone keep talking
without a thought first?

I’m telling you
you talk too much.
Keep those gums from flappin’
you’re driving me insane
I’m about to panic.

Now, too late
sanity, taking leave
walking a tight rope -
stop talking please…

I’m telling you
you talk too much.
Keep those gums from flappin’
With all the questions, wonders
your spoken thoughts-
still waiting for you to listen.
Still want the answer?

Then - -

Use your two ears to listen
mouth to speak.
Close your mouth.
Open your ears.
You’ll hear something different.

Silence!

Now, someone else can
talk too much!
