Chatty Fucking Maddie

If she shut up once in awhile
people may have a chance to like her
but she won't its all blah, blah, blah
and no one else can get a single
word in edgewise.

Everyone's ears are ready to bleed.
She finally pauses and I say "lets go"
we hop in my car, I'm taking her home.

She is still talking and I'm somewhere
far away swinging in a hammock
listening to waves hit rocks
when she jabs me in the arm and
says, I don't think they liked me,
what could I say, so I asked her if
she remembered anyone's name
of course she didn't and I tried to
tell her that maybe if she let other
people talk, if she could hold a
conversation, maybe listen,
but she cut me off kept
talking and not hearing again and then
few minutes later just said, huh?

The confusion from a one sided
conversation can cause deafness
in both the talker and the ones whom
are forced to listen.

You have to have a very calm personality
to put up with one who talks without
listening. a zen master willing to travel
to other dimensions in order to tune
that person out yet hear them at the
same time.

Sometimes I wanna scream in her face
and other times I feel bad
because I can imagine what it's like to
be her. Her looks get her in and her
incessant chattering gets her tossed out
and she's always stumped at why.

I chalk it up to a type of social anxiety
adrenaline is released and it shoots
out her mouth.
