Quiet
I live my life more in actions than in words.
(Even those are few and far between.)
My laughter is a commentary on the state of the world.
That’s all that is needed.
Eyes speak volumes
While mouths move,
Saying nothing.
On the highway
A quick glimpse between cars
Transfers its passengers’ stories.
Which are immediately lost again
In the rush of traffic.
