They search for many things, they do many things

They fill in their silences with words because- because.

They chatter, like the little flies that you could never get rid of,

but they prattle on, and they yak about themselves.


They couldn't bear to converse about someone else

it would ruin their style.

When they play charades,

words fail them, a game not so well played;

Life's purpose would not be laid out right

without them words.


Wittering and dancing around,

round and round in circles

with petty things to palaver about

time to waste because they have time on their hands


Hands that gesture wildly when they run off at their mouth

Lumbering about, looking for people in the south

to rattle on about their pathetic, pitiful lives.


We search for many things, we do many things.
