the need for quiet…just a quietness of nothing….

away…away from the loudness of America….the commercials…the accusations…the loud void between filled and empty….

it is a pitch…a high piercing pitch…striking the eardrums…the eyes…the spine….all emotions on alert….

and the morning television shows…screaming violence…while death plays out in hushed tones…

we are dying….falling from towers on high…shouting all the way down….to what….a nothing…

and perhaps nothing never counted….
