1/2 of Silence

silence

funny in concept, really

its duration, its relevance, its poignancy

all collapse when in when you feel trapped

bound by an relentless muzzle

to a LACK of words

knowing misconstrued messages

guide your own message and narrative

the best part is the misinterpretation of silence

“the quiet are the guilty” they say

why, how, and when has my disconnect ever ran its mouth
