yes yes I know I know
I talk too damned much
but I'm in good company
I have 10 radio buttons in my van
none of them play music in the morning
just babbletalk blah-blah-blah
I didn't go to work today
I went to a workshop
when I got there they had an icebreaker.
I fucking HATE icebreakers.
I wanted to practice taciturnity.
I didn't want to get up and ask anyone
if they took out their recycleables to the curb
or visited the Rain Forest
or had an uncle from Bolivia.
I wanted to sit and be still
and say nothing
be a minimalist with my words
still my voice
contribute no sound to the noise of the room.
I found a great deal of inner peace
inside that silence.
I also turned slightly invisible.

Interesting. Your considerable will to speak was surpassed by your will to defy authority, which is so much stronger.
Hmm...never knew this about you.
