anecdoche- a conversation wherein everyone is talking but nobody is listening

the quiet filled with our chatter
you mentioning something about that book you read
me about that album i listened to
our eyes bright
our hearts full

they turn to ask us if we know
that everything we say is disconnected
two conversations at once
two monologues told

we just laugh and continue
letting the words out into the air
releasing the thoughts into the world
and feeling whatever we feel

we are in an anecdoche
but we are not lost
floating between words
and living on the forefront
