[this had a title once.]

"right, right, now listen to me" is one.

"running commentary/just don't run out of things to say" is another.

can't say i know what it's like, but there's "as we exist in companiable silence".

and then there's "let's be around each other as we worry and we bitch and we whine and we try to be (until we are considered as) one of those other people who are, maybe not exactly perfect, but". that's just plain offensive.

and there's land, and there's water and there's grass.
