Accidentally Interrupting
My first thought is a question-
why is my reflex to throw up?
There is no reason to throw up
or even to really feel ashamed
except for one
but it's only one
even if that one
was not reading the room
which I used to pride myself on doing.
Did I really just think
I could hop into a conversation like that?
Just because the two people are my friends
or were my friends
doesn't mean they want to hear my voice
or see my face.
I do tend to talk too much
and make things about me
so I don't blame them
for asking me to find a different table.
It is probably better
if I keep my thoughts to myself
from now on.
