Silence
runs it's nails
down a chalk board
I cringe
at the sound
of nothing

I pull
the blankets
over my head
to deafen
the echoes
of nothing

I close my eyes

Maybe
if I focus
hard enough
I can find
something good on

I must have forgot
to pay the bill

The Sandman
canceled my cable
all I get now are
the
basic channels
Nothing is on
expect for
re runs

I should just
read a book
instead of
trying to sleep

because

I really
don't want to see
your face
again

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

well this is a great time of year to go window shopping... buy yourself some new threads and look at the reflection you could be... replace the images you don't care to look at... is that enough Dr. Lucky... yes quiet enough, you may go now...

Very captivating... yes the book is a good solution ... if you can focus enough, that is! The secret is not to focus, but that's the hardest thing to do in such a situation, I know.

Love,

it really is true that silence can be deafening...on the other hand, when all is chaos, it's simply golden.  It's all in what is music to our ears, I guess.     But I don't know anyone who does well with nails screeching down a chalkboard!  ~ K
