Analysis of Workplace Conversation

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



The chitty chatty chattering,
 an easy lie in every line,
don't show me your truth,
 and i wont show you mine.
A shuffling of concerns,
pretend smiles ,postures and exclamations..
While worthwhile things are buried,
or lost in translation.
All that's real avoided,
or hidden in the stew,
of the same old conversations,
nothing never ever new..
