I don’t really care who you are, <br />Or what you say <br />about who you know. <br />Your pleasing pleasantries <br />May be nice to you <br />To me they are unnerving. <br /> <br />I don’t really want <br />to waste my time <br />About fairy tale stories <br />and polite conversation. <br />You took a Camel <br />On a desert ride <br />Yay for you and the Saudis. <br /> <br />Call me apathetic, <br />But don’t call me rude <br />I’ll sit here and feign interest <br />If it will make you smile. <br /> <br />Call me whatever <br />In your heart you will <br />My motives aren’t for lack of boredom. <br /> <br />Stop “n” chat <br />Why do we do it <br />When neither of us has any obligation. <br />I saw you once ten years ago <br />And now your life’s unfolding. <br /> <br />I’m glad your grandmother <br />Is not quite senile <br />Although her “depends” can be tiresome. <br />I’m happy that your mother <br />Is still a bitch <br />And that I’d no longer find her attractive. <br />It’s good to know that your job’s going great <br />Now that you got your Associates. <br />An your engaged <br />To Penny from high school <br />Who of course I dated. <br />Isn’t it amazing that you smashed your car <br />One night 5 years ago. <br />And wouldn’t it be great <br />If we never got in accidents <br />As you’ve pointed so. <br /> <br />Oh these tiresome chats, <br />And the way they flow <br />To muse <br />Apathetic and boring <br /> <br />and <br /> <br />Most of all <br />isn’t it interesting, <br /> <br />No word of how <br />I’m doing. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright (c) David DeSantis<br /><br />David DeSantis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acquaintances/
