No signs of noise

just the roar in our head

the grazing of life

turned inside out and upside down

by the events in our world

your world, their world

thoughts  turned into feelings

transformations of opinions and actions

left bare, desolate

yet full of emotion

silence made bearable through watching others

listening for the lulls

feeling for the throng of life

loud, demanding, predisposed to following others

silence

made louder

by the noise inside our head
