Lonely introspection

A TV running blank in the 
Empty house and the 
Incandescent bulb burning
Without purpose.

There's a stool. Two shoes,
That avoid eye contact.
An old telephone hanging
In the air by the spring-cord.

A man past his fifties has
Cut his face in half, holds it,
Like bowl of soup- to search 
Meaning of life with a spoon.

When the only conversation
All day has been a dry fart
In response to a cold sigh.
The loneliness like a-

Drop of sweat goes down
The trails of his spine to talk
To someone- only to get
Choked in the ass. 

Alas! Hips. 
Why can't you talk?
