A NONSTOP TALKER

He talks a lot

but doesn’t

say anything.

Babbling,

eyes on fire,

a spittle-laced

blather.

Weary listeners

want to punch

him in the face.

A motor-mouth,

a train wreck

off the tracks.

Anxiety driven

chatter reminds him

he exists,

when he’s not here,

or anywhere.

He doesn’t know how

to change his life.
