Shirley Hanley - CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF

What is it they say
when you tell people
you talk to yourself?

'Well that's okay
so long as you don't
answer yourself.'
And then they laugh.

Well...

not only
do I
answer myself,

I sometimes
look
around the
room

to see who
may
have heard me...
[and I'm alone]

And then
I laugh.

I'm laughing
now
inbetween conversations.
