Verbal Valium

My mind has refused to shut up.
Usually, it chatters away quietly by itself.
But now, My Mind demands more.
Quiet chatter satisfies it no longer.
Talk talk yak yak bicker bicker think think

I'm often a fan of my own Mind speaking
(a symptom of too much 'self-love'?)
But sometimes I'd like for it to think less
Or to think mindless thoughts
I miss that - sitting around talking about nothing
Random rubbish, simple-silliness

These days, even that leads to other thoughts
Sigh.
Maybe what I need is a good-shallow gossiping session.

Gossip, as evil as it is, works pretty damn well as verbal valium.
