the neighbour's phone rings next door, the walls are so thin I can hear her answer. my phone dings, but my room still remains silent. i should answer, greet with the same answer I just heard. but i don't move. rare silence, contained only within my walls. its not real silence, there is noise around me. but not within. so i lie still, waiting for that silence inside me to break. then can i make noise?
