the expert on everything

the expert on everything
is here.
he knows
so little about so much,
just
enough to hold court,
to rail
and rant, to speak loudly
as if
he needs to be heard.
in his mind,
they hang on every word.
the places he's been,
the things he's seen.
he knows the history of nearly
everything.
no need to speak
when he's around he'll
answer and ask all the questions.
just sit there
and listen.
the expert has arrived.
let's listen.
