≡ One Thing or Another

There isn’t much to say anymore
The air has gone out
Replaced by stale conversation about
One thing or another thing
Always leading back to silent contemplation
Of the TV screen.
Background music from the neighbor next door
You think you recognize it
But you’re just not sure
And what you think it is gets stuck in your ear
It keeps repeating
It’s all you can hear
Change the channel till it disappears
To be replaced by stale conversation.
One thing
Another thing.
