80/365: a conversation

we say a lot
or we say a little

words come forth and
do dances

or 
they come forth
and sit down, feet kicked up
on punctuation ottomans

hearing what isn't said
especially
when there is a riotous word gathering -
a joyous festival of word patrons -
or a staccato of angry word soldiers -
or just a subway platform of word commuters
pushing and shoving onto the next train -

it seems it might be important
to count the silences.
