Did you grab my attention?

Round circle. Sorta round. Doesn't matter, because it is far from a round table. There is no discussion here. You look left to see someone steal the spotlight. You look right to hear some chit-chat about a topic that you have little interest in. It's kinda awkward, so bump in with some senseless thread on how you think she might be loving her job. Wrong assumption. Did you grab my attention? You're a small mind for a big child. As you pan the room with eye-vision, you want to sink into the floor, absorbed like a bad wine stain. You flip another card, laugh off the stupid premonition as poor taste, and go to sleep later thinking about the coulda-shoulda statement that would have transitioned you from lifeless to full of life. Square, not round. All too mathematical, not chemical.
