I figure if I sit here
quietly,
she’ll never notice that
I’m sitting, quietly, here.
She will never hear me
if I hardly breathe at all.
Maybe, if I lean further
back,
I will fade into
the blue background.
If I balance my feet
just right
I can sit as unmoving
as the stars.
If I part my lips
I can speak and answer
her questions
without ever making a sound.
And, as we all know
sounds are the
worst
thing you can make
