poem

i really like this poem so i figured i would put up here.... i performed it in my oral intrepretation class, maybe if you ask ill do it for you too, its a lot of fun... [hopefully i won't get sued for putting it up, i did write tthe author's name on it.. oh well] enjoy! i talk to myself by: arianna waynes I talk to myself i talk to myself so much, so enthusiastic, so loud, so long, laughter spillin out the sides of my face when my mouth ain't holdin itself together songs slippin tween my teeth when i reach for a smile i'd surely take myself for crazy if i encountered me on the street i talk dialogues with imaginary people or characters in stories or characters in my life who ain't got no idea we been holdin these conversations an what we been talkin about or what he said she said been runnin rampant in my head all in the middle of the sidewalk or on the way to class in the middle of the afternoon or in the bathtub though i'd almost expect them to remember what i asked or how i imagined we argued like when you dream a love-affair with some perfectly platonic somebody you know and half-expect em to accost you with kisses when you meet em on the street (but it just ain't never so) i mean if you met me on the bus or on the subway for sure you'd think i's crazy if you met me gaspin at street corners or reciting poetry in the grocery store or sayin somethin looks like how d'ya do to the artichokes i'd think definitely time for something like the lunatic asylum and that's just me reactin to me reactin to the flibbertigibberish in my head so how'd i expect you to take me for anything other than completely outta my mind when i said--outta the blue-- coulda been talkin to the cucumbers steada you-- when i said babybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby-- i adore you
