Imagine a little switch that
you could just flick
just like that
‘’flick”
and whoever you’re talking
to goes silent
Like a big fat blimp far
far away
Animated
but so silent
As silent as the
night
As silent as grandma’s
Sunday afternoon,
on a quiet week
If I could get that switch
installed,
(giving the handyman a
cold, beer once
he’s done)
I’d use it on you
everytime
when you refuse to
shut the hell
up.
the sieve and the sand 
or, as Blink182 once said,
‘shut the fuck up’ she said
I’m going fucking deaf
you’re always too loud
everything’s too loud
I like this a lot. Probably mostly because I feel like if you’d put me in a vacuum with nothing but the Sieve to write on and a million years to do it, I might have written something a lot like it.
Maybe that’s a compliment.
Maybe it’s an absolute insult.
Either way, thanks for letting us read it.
