The appeal of silence
is an oft-understated thing;
the yearning for quiet
in the dark of day,
in the caves of work,
where echoes abound
despite the muting of
all important voices,
is a thing of passion and
vitriolic discussion and
really anything but the
very thing that is yearned for.
A deep, dark, silent space:
impenetrable emptiness,
please, I'll take two, and you
are not to follow;
get your own and do not share.
