Surface Conversation

People are talking
What once sounded like forced courtesies
Now sounds like empty souls

Brains looking for rewards
Trying to laugh when nothing is funny
Forcing a smile after a morning of frustration

Cackling
Like witches without magic powers
Like disney hyenas

Happy to be employed
Sociable and kind
In a good mood
But nevertheless, bullshitting each other

There is no learning, there is no mutual understanding, there is nothing on the table

Poker without money
Dancing to no music
A language without adjectives

If our self-esteems were a stock market
We'd be experiencing hyperinflation
