Verbiage

I write because...

folks think I'm too serious as it is,

because I always rehearse stories in my head before telling 'em,

and I'm over sensitive if you don't listen a certain way,

and neither of us seem to have the time of day to converse rather than chat,

and because the words never come out right the first time.

I write because my thoughts are unfinished and connected to previous thoughts,

and it seems to be too much work for anyone to get caught up in anyone else's ever-forming story.
