the need for not to talk gibberish

I have been used to this now - going to Prithvi alone to catch one or the other of the brilliant plays that they stage there. The following was a reaction to the people and the few minutes before the play starts.
__________

everyone, almost everyone was talking.
with people-of course, known and unknown.

WHY
nothing better to do,
wanted to talk
can't help it!
don't get much time together,
long time yea,
he is funny, thats why,
impress, impressed?
what else?
why not?


WHAT
oh ! this and that.
Office, office and ummm...well office!
sex, women, men, homosexuality.
pedicure, olive, papaya, treadmill,
wine, beer, death by chocolate,
where we had dinner, yesterdat, last week,
the week before, last month, the month before.
about everyone else !
nothhing yaar,
food, movies, SRK, darjeeling,
don't remember acually, who does?


CAN'T
stare and not ogle.
just sit and be comfortable.
shake and not fetter.
listen and not speak.
be and not acknowledged.
think and not fumble.
speak and not to anyone
listen and not from anyone.

CAN'T
do nothing.
look at blank spaces.
wring my hands for long.
sit at one place without having to move.
be busy with myself.
see the need, not to talk gibberish.

  2. funny but satirical too... really liked the way you presented something so mundane and something that probably even I or you would have done when visiting the theater with friends :P
