sense and conversation

i thought
they were
talking to each other

over a coffee table
they were
not facing each other
they might be in love
they might want to speak facing
but they couldn't

sometimes
the conversation
made sense
sometimes
it dint

and then
i saw they
never knew each other
they were
talking on their own
mobile phones
one looking at a spot
on the wall
other watching
people crossing the road

and i also knew
if i heard
that conversation
to someone they knew
sometimes
it made sense
sometimes
it dint.
