Piddling You Pass On As Intelligent Babble

Please just don't sit,
Accepting this.
Argue.
Be opinionated.
Pass judgement on it.

Do 'something' I expect.
At least raise an eyebrow.
Show me you object.
Give me a sign,
You're finding my comments...
Too uncoventional for these times.
Do more than stare at me!
Say exactly what's on your mind.

Give me feedback.

'This is...
It really is,
Great stuff.'

Whew.
Thanks.
I didn't like it either.

'Seriously.
This is good.'

Look!
Don't play your psyche games with me.

'I'm saying I like it! '

Yeah,
Right.
And 'that' you want me to believe?
If it was any good at all,
You'd be arguing with me.

'You think you know me so well,
Dontcha? '

No!
I know the ones you did not like,
Have been my best efforts.
And that one you're reading now...
I didn't even write.
I just wanted to get your reaction.
I'm using a different approach.
A whole new method.

'Maybe that's why I think it's great!
Maybe you should study this,
And upgrade your outdated taste...
For piddling you pass on as intelligent babble.
Just to use my time to waste! '

Excuse me?

'It's not like I have not said that before.'
