“Silence, Please.”

Thinking, fuck… I don’t want to be out today —

selling plastic bag cases.

I felt hollow,

looking out with no feeling except wanting silence.

But the show must go on.

So off I went.

…….

I found myself in front of Christ —

not at Mass, but at a church.

It’s a meditative place for me.

Sitting there with my eyes closed.

Cell phone off.

Hat off.

Just a few people scattered about.

Me, wanting silence a bit.

I didn’t feel like writing tonight.

I guess people think writers always want to write.

This is why I say I’m not a writer.

This writing thing has just been my way

of dealing with my thoughts.
