A day passes. -No sound- Dog indignant, jaws moving, saliva descending. Growling eyes, barking movement. -No sound- A man, a child, adolescent. Pointing laughing; jumping, head rolling. -No sound- Me walking, dawdle. Head sagging. Tear rain down, down. Clawed shirt, petite shorts. Exposed legs, arms, feet. Years. I think. My life without sound.
