Solitude

Engaged in a heated argument,

he rambles on and on

about something

that he read on the news

fifteen minutes ago.

Brushes his teeth frantically,

blood spat out from his inflamed gums,

while his tongue continues

to talk endlessly.

His lips pause

waiting for his lover to agree,

but his ears hear no sound.

As he turns around, realises,

he has been speaking

to a bathroom wall.
