As I strive to read this paper,
I am constantly bombarded with
Various forms of attempted conversation.
From random and extremely unimportant
Questions to idle chit-chat small talk.

But that's frowned upon.
Why me, why now, why, why, why?
Hang on a second… I’m in gaol;
If that’s my only problem I’m kicking
Goals…
