Attention Feed

The nit-natter chatter of thoughts circled their drill to dissipation and silence then in reaching their pause gave undetermined panic a question who is watching who is listening is anyone paying attention The echoes tempo of frustration and the greedy anxiety of self importance let loose their martyrdom there must be someone how to latch upon the drum and in such momentary enthusiasm can grab anyones attention Perhaps some off hand remark to cease upon So every-thing is cared for neatly stored spik span and in their demand the neat little things reply I am loved I am Yet still it comes nagging the absent lack of attention causes the fraught to create dissension pay attention the martyrdom in its greed designs with elastic speed the attentions need from anyone The nit-natter chatter is becoming breathless gasping attention it needs attention it breathes and desperation lurks on the periphery someone pay attention please And around the go round on run around go choose a comment for anger or flattery but for god-sake pay some attention to me give me a reason to believe anything please to twist me from this silence where there is only self importance where there is only my attention
