 People around me

making small talk, telling jokes -

        river flows, wind blows.

 

I don't know - am I just being pretentious thinking that listening to nature is somehow more authentic than small talk and jokes, or is this kind of profound thinking that small talk and jokes are the natural processes that move our lives along?  I'd like to go with the second, but I don't know!
