The King Crimson Series: Elephant Talk
"Hi Paul!"
"Jack! Hey man, how are you?"
"Good, good real good! And you?"
"Ya, well, you know, work is a hassle, with all the arguments, agreements, advice and answers that no one in their right mind would give a toss about.. My boss, who is an ass between you and me and Neal, comes up with articulate announcements that could only make sense to small pygmies in the forest!"
"Ha! Ya, it's only talk."
"Talk! Talk! Oh, I tell you... here, lets sit here for a sec... bartender! Two beers!"
"I'll take two beers too."
"Umm... things seem to be getting better around the country."
"Ballyhoo! Tell that to my grandma! Bicker, bicker, banter, brouhaha, the politicians talk till they're blue in the face. It's all babble here and burble there and balderdash in the ashtray, if you ask a stray like me. It's only talk,"
"But what about..."
"Don't give me no back talk! I know what I speak of."
"Okay, well... yes thank you bartender. I wonder how he sleeps with those big buttons on his pyjamas?"
"Nice place, this. I just popped in to look for someone."
"Ya, bit noisy though, at this time of day. All the chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat, conversations everywhere, everyone has got comments, criticism, contradiction and controversy in their conversation. To use an old cliche, chatter for the mad hatter."
"Ha! Ya, I heard that before. Just cheap talk. Anyway, this guy I was looking for, you don't know who it is, do you?"
"It's a funny thing, it just slipped my mind. What letter did his name start with?"
"It started with D, like as in dialogue, duologue, or diatribe,
maybe even dissension or declamation."
"No, there can be no debate or discussion about it, I never seen the guy, I never seen the guy."
"Why the double talk, double talk?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
"Why you looking for him?"
"We had an argument and he pulled a knife on me."
"No! Don't talk that trash! It is a true editorial of our times. You want to express yourself, explain with a tinge of exclamation thrown in for effect, maybe even a tad bit of exaggeration. All that, and what do you get in return? I ask you, what do you get in return?"
