No Conversation Today

 

 

 



No conversation today.

Too busy, I suppose—all those things to do, to see, to know, to experience, to understand.

Of course; much too busy.

What it must be like at the end of time?


And ignoring me is good for me anyway—sometimes.

I know that.

It’s a lesson isn’t it?

Sorry—that’s inviting a conversation, and you’ve all those things to do, to know, to experience, to understand.

It’s a lesson in getting on with life by myself—alone, miserable, floundering in the de-future that still curls around me like some revolting serpent, getting on in a life without expectation, going from day to day without being certain of a conversation.

Yes, a lesson, but a lesson unlearnt—and un-learnable, and unwanted.

Who wants to master getting on with life?

Sorry—there I go again; its so easy.
