Conversation with a Madman

What a nice thing it is to meet you. If first impressions really matter,( as they say they do), then I’m very impressed.

You carry yourself well, are attractive, and seem to have a lot to say.

How nice for you.

Now, whay were you saying?

I guess I’m having trouble concentrating…what, with that gorgeous smile, and those eyes…

..Mmm…..those eyes, indeed. I could get lost in those eyes.

You know they say that the eyes are the windows to the soul…but, what do I know?

Oops! I’ve lost track, again. Now, what were you saying?

I know, I’ll try watching your mouth. That way I can at least read your lips.

That way I’ll better be able to listen to you. Yes. I’ll read your lips…

..Mmm…..those lips. I could get lost in those lips.

I’m sorry, now what were you saying? Hey! Why are you leaving?

What do you mean, "I’m shallow and self-absorbed"? I was trying to listen! Anyway, you had me at "Hello"!

You were probably merely talking about yourself; and you call ME, "self-absorbed"!

Oh well. Ohhh…hi there. How nice it is to meet you.

I wonder if what your saying is the "real" you? Or is it just a part of a fascad?

Oh! But what a fascad…..VERY attractive. You know, I could get lost in that fascad!

I’m sorry. Now, what were you saying?

You captured the mentally

You captured the mentally ill BS that permeates our mainstream society very well! I like it, would do very well as a scene in musical or play.
