How do you write silence?
How do you draw a sound;
how do you speak a dream?
How can it be done?
Carefully,
they say. With precision.
Sure,
I say. Show me where to start.
Except it's hard to show,
just as it's hard to do.
You have to find your own way of being expressive.
They've told me I'll find it eventually,
like the object of some epic quest.
Well, here I am,
questing silently,
tapping my pencil on a notebook.
How do you write silence??
Wait.
Here it is.
