You Are Not So Interesting...

I'm sure this comes as a shock to you.
Others have been so patient
With your constant blathering.
Not wanting to offend
They sit and smile.
They offer little in response
When you pause
And come up for air.
Undeterred
You launch into soliloquy.
Expressing your views
On politics.
On the price of petrol.
On the barman's watered down drinks.
Never once
Catching the pained expressions
Or the deafening
Wall of silence that greets
Yet somehow fails
To overpower your
Self-absorbed infatuation
With the sound of your own voice...
