A Tumultuous Silence

199 11 6
                                    

The printer wails, complaining

And it starts to retch

Losing so little

As it spits out so much.

The disgruntled floor,

Unhappy how it is ignored,

Tired so of the tapping,

Done and over with the noise,

The sounds all vexatious.

The irritated floor, is so full

Of weariness and exhaust.

Not just any taps are they.

No these beats that cross the floor,

Are far too loud

To be so simply ignored.

These taps – they talk.

Yes, they talk to the glass door.

They talk to the indecisive

Glass door.

The door that cannot make up its mind.

The door, indecisive, unsure,

Does not know what to do.

So it’ll open, and close, and open, and close, and open -

The door compressed against the wall, like a lock

But there it is.

Open.

There’s more to that door:

Voices lay behind.

And those voices-

They fill the place with sound;

A vibrant cacophony,

Such madness,

Seeps past the now open glass door.

The waterfall of voices cascades in.

The silence of the room-

Interrupted.

The droplets of sound spill forth

And the sound inside thus spread!—

Silence no more.

Footsteps they scar the floor.

Their impression disturbs the cold tiles.

They add to the clamorous silence,

They add to the uncertain breathing.

Those footsteps, that silence,

Conduct the chorus, continues the canon of breaths.

Each intake heard, in the silence.

All the elements of the ear-splitting silence,

Though quiet

All becomes so very loud.
