thanks for waisting my life

did you ever hear someone talk about something
something so inconsequential and meaningless
talk about it with so much fervor
so much passion like life depended on it
so much time like it made a difference
and you wondered if anyone else was thinking
what you were thinking
listening to them talk about...
sports
band names
company logos
designer clothes
manicured yards
good/bad hair days
pimples

they seem soo important in that moment
the future seems to hinge on them in that moment
