"In conversation"

My fingers entwine with the wires

My eyes on the wall

Try to convince the invisible crowd 

That I  am just lazing around  

My ears dissolve the sound of music 

And beg for a kink in the monotony 

My hands creep closer

To the levelled numbers

And prepare to play....

In my mind, a conversation 

My feet feel pins and needles 

Sticking to my soles and 

Pricking at my patience 

My hair rises

With every moment

Jittery as my ballet performing nerves

Time presents a death vault 

And all I can do is rewind my

Unsaid, imaginary words and thoughts 

I dance to the rhythm 

of the fan spinning above 

Trying to escape the one-sided conversation
