Advice on how to avoid forced smalltalk in the office?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was any advice you could give me on how to avoid the mind numbing smalltalk I have to deal with when I'm at work. I can't stand it, and I just want to go in, do my job, and be left alone. Maybe I'll seek out an actual conversation with one of the people I'm closer with, but thats always deeper than 'traffic sure was bad today', or 'look at the rain'. Like I literally do not care about what 99% of these people are saying, and you would think after 2 years people would realise I'm not a morning person so to just stop trying? This is one of the reasons I'm trying to get my role changed so that it's more desk based so I can maybe start working from home.
