A poem about silence

So, you want me to be quiet?

Inside voices, and all that,

Listening intently, only speaking consequently,

Echolocating in the silence like a bat.

Never speak unless spoken to!

Can’t imagine that’s a thing I’ll do.

Everyone, gather round – it's time to chat.

I’m a writer, a storyteller, a lunatic. I imagine in a parallel universe I might be a caricaturist or a botanist or somewhere asleep on the moon — but here, I am a writer, turning moments into multiverses and making homes out of them.
