if it started here, it would go like this: you can't speak, unless you know who is listening if i were a church, your church, you pass me by on your way my bells would sound to you like grief but that is not my voice it is more like pages being turned, carelessly, with a lazy hand then the train, no, the streetcar goes past and you miss it you didn't hear if it started again, it would sound like this: nobody sings to nobody our audiences are so varied, they sometimes laugh, sometimes cry sometimes they ignore us, but ignoring, too, is listening i'm quiet today, like light fabric over lovely knees that make you sigh but i don't hear the sigh, i wasn't listening, i was dreaming if it ended now, it would speak to us and say: you never stopped in the same place to hear each other, you were too busy trying to hear each other and the world was loud then, loud and heroic, and you were too curious, too careless you didn't learn about that story: there is a time for words and a time for silence you were silent when you should have spoken i just wanted to hear your voice it's a mismatched pair of socks on a deck half shade, half sunlight then the rain made them both the same. and i missed it.IP: Logged |
