Silence

Gibber jabber gibber jabber, all the time!

It's like silence has been uninvented.
Noise seeps through the walls and into my brain.
No silence here because...
...because, silence is a crime!

Noise...
From a TV from downstairs
From an aeroplane in the sky
...and maybe from distant train.
Noise distracts.

Silence is now a sin!
No 'dead air',
no 'pregnant pauses'
Do the dead rest in peace?
Silence is not allowed!

Anyway; when you have silence you can hear yourself think,
you can reason with that fellow in your head, (Whoever he or she might be!)
Silence allows you to sort things out,
maybe make a plan.

Who'd want silence anyway?!
