Genuine conversation does lift us
Out of the ordinary, mundane world
Provided that the matter we discuss
Is something other than the nonsense hurled
At each of us by quotidian life:
The work that seems not to construct a thing
The petty, venal, smirking office strife;
The bills, whose hunger is grown by feeding
The slow decay of traitorous bodies
The colorful tension of holidays
The yawning, bashful, back to work stories
The weather’s oddly alarming displays
Talk of how the world is swats us to earth
Talk of how it could be lifts us with mirth
