Sealed Lips


I'm going to be silent.

Silent as an old black rotary phone gutted from the wall.






Silent as a movie before speakers.





Silent as a dog waiting for its master.




Silent as the Spring after chemicals.



Silent as a man kneeling before a mountain.



Silent as a fish in a tank.

If I am going to be that quiet,
I better start practicing now.

No more metaphors.
