Categorizing Silence Poem by D.N. Rebb

Categorizing Silence

Rating: 5.0

There are two types of silence
The one where the room is quiet
But you hear all the details
The clock ticking,
Dog barking down the street,
A truck engine braking,
Neighbor above flushing his toilet
And then there is the unusual silence
When you're in a room full of bedlam
Brimming with noise pollution
Conversation over conversation
Creating continuous static
Such emotional turmoil
And yet, you hear nothing
But preoccupied silence
