Shoot The Breeze With Me

I don’t want to write

I don’t have anything to say…

For I have far more to say than

Would be natural

Or helpful

If I start

I might never stop

I’m holding it all in

I’m holding it all back

For nothing seems to fit

The context

To fit

At this table they’ve created out here

There’s nothing linear here

Nothing to follow

Or track

Or fit the framework

That’s been set

Ask a question…

Let me tell you,

The answer will surprise you

It surprises me

We never quite know

What we’re gonna get

There’s a mystery here

That is just below the surface

Too shy to come out

For those that don’t appreciate a

Good bit

Of mystery

For those expecting

Linear thinking

Agenda

Structure

Or cleanliness

Those unacquainted with

The art

That first looks like

Disarray

It doesn't feel safe

It’s not for the risk-averse

It doesn’t seem to serve any

Particular purpose

It’s just a superfluous mess

Are there any readers,

Listeners,

Who are ready

To waste some real time with us?

To muse until they’re blue

Because they just enjoy the thing

Of musing to muse

To talk

Ideate

Feel

Opinion-ate

Not to solve

Or create

Except for to create

Fun

Intrigue

Interest

To indulge curiosity

Where have the days

Gone

To just hang

To hang?

Utility has taken over

So lean back

Pull up a chair

Waste some time with me

Gather around the campfire

Slow down

To sing

To hear

To chat

To read each other’s

Hearts

Just because it’s

Interesting

There’s still plenty of time

To shoot the breeze

Just to shoot the breeze
