As I'm writing this all I'm thinking of are the pauses between your words when you stop to wet your mouth with the disregard of others' thoughts. I think of the pauses the people on tv take They've made those silent but how they shape our lives has become Louder
The pauses in my sister's words are deliberate. because she can not speak toofast t o o f a r too out of hand about the things she cares for. Her words are Broken by the slow sounds of A mouth closing and opening others to her opinions closing them to their own.
I hear my mouth I hear the way breath skids over my lips like a body being dragged behind an old pickup. I hear my mouth make wet noises and I ask myself how to be dryer I ask myself why I breathe like I do because my Living isn't supposed to be a statement. My life isn't supposed to interrupt anyone else's.
All I'm thinking of is that your pauses interrupt my life.
