TALKIN BOUT THE WEATHER

Before you begin

you should know

I am not a small-talk person.

I am not the man to ask you how you are

or what the weather's like

or who won last night in the semi-finals.

I don't care about the things that you like

and I don't care about the people who like the things that you like.

Do you understand?

I am bigger than your petty concerns.

My mind is filled with larger topics

greater issues

than your stupid soaps or your silly stories or your sucky socks.

I don't care

and I don't want you to care about me

if you care about them.

Is that understood?

Are we on the same page?

Great, then.

Have a nice day.

Talk to you tomorrow.
