Nodding ‘Yes!’ Prettily smiling
signaling how we assuage
Leaning in closely, beguiling
lying in wait to engage
Then! Rushing the podium
forcing forward tilting
engendering odium
with rendition lilting!
Boorishly we’re ‘reporting’
while other voices thwarting
By faked exchange we’re elbowing
to corral own audience
In-vogue phrases we’re echoing
promoting our prominence
Out from what frozen frustration
flows such puerile predation?

‘reporting’ = here: often unsolicited, to boorishly drone on with pointless & self-centered accounts of the minute & mundane
