Shout

By jfarrell

I shout a lot;

At the radio, at my cats

At myself.

There hasn’t been anyone to talk to

For a very long time,

So, I shout at my radio.

In my isolation

I shout, just so I can hear me

Because the silence is deafening.

Unspoken conversations run through my head

With real people;

Real people ignorant of my existence.

I watch people

Yap, yap, yap,

All day long.

I may not talk to people;

But, what I see,

Other people don’t talk to each other either;

They just yap, yap, yap;

Shouting at my radio

Probably makes for a better conversation.
