Silence
is the golden time
to say the perfect thing
or let it go
and let it slide into a point where someone has to say something
who is it
what will they say
how will they say it
is this going to hurt
will it be something personal
or too revealing
something i don't want to hear
or know about myself
or them
just sit in it. and feel your stomach tense up.
and feel the breathe in the room get ****** up
and the people
paralized
for a split second
not able to move
and then it clicks
and the right button was pressed
and all of the tension built up into the silence
fueled the laughter
and now there's stomachs busting
people howling
Shouting stuff out in the crowd
A room, spontaneously combusting into laughter
one by one
soldiers, knocked down, picked back up
And ready to be hit
with more
silence
