Chatter

I'm in a place which name was derived from a sky element and nature
A place where people eat, drink and chat 
The atmosphere filled with endless noise from the people and the radio 

In front of me is a group of women
celebrating a new addition to their group 
and the week that has passed 

In my left are men 
Their thoughts spoken as if its their sword 
and their words uttered like their sparring with one another 

From another area comes laughter 
Most of them boisterous 
while some are slightly reserved

Lingering
I began to see how these chatter connect, convey and celebrate 
How in one sound they understand each other 
they feel one another  
they make sense 
they alter 

But there's also another noise that I forgot to mention 
the one that came from a lil Acer 
its keyboard clicking 
Clicking and clicking 
someone was trying to connect 
and talk 
not with someone 
but with a place where 
her thoughts are poured 
and shared 
from her mind 
to yours
