(Pause) Yes. It was all in the pause Everything that wasn’t said, Everything that was going to be said, Everything. A messy universe hidden in a vacuum, In one big bang a new chaotic reality was born But before that There was the pause. The ‘yes’ that followed the silence Was nothing more than a cork in a wave Unable to stop the city of love drowning in violence. The pause was there before, The silence was trapped in my throat before, Within it was all that needed to be said Released in an explosion The spark offered by your question ‘Are we alright?’ Boom. At least, I thought, we’ve erased the silence The pause is over. Kicking the debris with your toe You said ‘I wish you’d tried’ (Pause)

The Pause
(Pause) Yes. It was all in the pause Everything that wasn’t said, Everything that was going to be said, Everything. A messy universe hidden in a vacuum, In one big bang a new chaotic reality was born But before that There was the pause. The ‘yes’ that followed the silence Was nothing more than a cork in a wave Unable to stop the city of love drowning in violence. The pause was there before, The silence was trapped in my throat before, Within it was all that needed to be said Released in an explosion The spark offered by your question ‘Are we alright?’ Boom. At least, I thought, we’ve erased the silence The pause is over. Kicking the debris with your toe You said ‘I wish you’d tried’ (Pause)
