I am slacking on updating this blog with content. It is crunch time, right now; the semester is coming to a close. So, here is a poem I wrote in fall. It is called "Silence." Enjoy.
Silence
First dates sit in turquoise vinyl booths,
nursing on their text messages.
Women trudge home
through five o’clock traffic,
pacified by Andrea Bocelli’s
radio distorted voice.
Men sit with plastic attached to their ears,
placed on hold,
sucking on their IPods.
Mute birds perch on bark branches
Twitter tweets on their behalf.
Insulated from silence.
