You're So Vain ... Self-Absorbed ... Inconsiderate

White empty chairs - a plenty; click to enlarge You're so vain you probably think this blog is about you, don't you?

You walk onto the sea bus like you don't know where to sit.
There're empty white chairs a plenty - take your pick -
but you must choose the one right behind me.
With no regard for personal space - just yourself - we sit back to back.

Your iPod strategically placed in your ears,
you turn up the volume - with no regard for anyone else.
I shift in my seat to put some distance between us, your Elvis greased hair,
And your shirt - it was blue.

If I still had my cup of tea-on-the-go I'd pour it in your lap,
Turn down your music and turn up consideration.
I live a dream of escaping on a Lear jet to anywhere far from here,
But it is clouds in my coffee as I'm where I should be.

Your music stills as you search for a song.
You find Carly Simon and I share her lament, "You're so vain ..."
