Summarize

if walls could talk

if walls could talk they certainly would say more than i could see they listen they listen to the back and forth the gossip the plots

as i just sit there with a cigar thinking my own thoughts

technology has dumbed down the human conversation piece punched it right in the gut and opened the bathroom door gone are the days of actual speculation and inquiry

who knows maybe the walls don’t listen

maybe they have become bored watching spiders catch flies as the trash cans fill with paper coffee cups

the walls don’t have anything interesting to say anymore

shit

neither do i who would I tell?
