The Quiet World
In an effort to get people to look
into each other's eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn't respond,
I know she's used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

[edit] heehee i refuse to start a new entry! whee :D anyway i don't get why people must put music on their blogs?!?!! it's SUPER annoying because everyone has different preferences so if you like a particular song so much, why don't you just play it to yourself on your iTunes or something?! you don't need to make the whole world listen to the song that you like right :S everytime i go to these kinda blogs i have to stop my music just to listen to their song GRR! oh but i'm fine with those who bother to put it in a wma format so you can just stop the music hahahaha. everyone should stop putting background music on their blogs!!! okay i sound like an ass :( nah no i think it's justified. DO YOU GUYS WANT ME TO PUT QUEEN OF THE NIGHT ARIA AS MY BLOG MUSIC JUST COS I LIKE THE SONG? no right. yay :) [/edited]
