Everyone at work used to say
You were good at talking the talk
I did not realise this
As I was too distracted
Listening to you talking
Rather than watching you
walking
And as I walked faster
Alongside you talking
I forgot where I was going
And I fell down a hole
You did not see me or follow
But I could still hear you
talking

Man made trap
poetry on high
light shines bright
talk shuts up.
Terrific - clever, fast and funny, with some sharp social commentary biting through.

I'm wondering whether there should be a walk instead of a talk in line 2?
I love the poem Katy - it's a bit Bridget Jones - I love the vulnerability - you capture it perfectly.
