Loud
An Acrostic Poem about Silence

since you asked, no
it's not possible to sit in silence
let me explain:
even if you could sit in pure sensory deprivation
neurology is a slave master
count sheep, meditate—whatever you gotta do
even silence is loud as hell

Great one...
That is very true, thank you for giving us a reality check through your lovely acrostic poem.
Very true, except if you lost the sound sense itself, silence is a state of mind though, it is what you imagine it to be...quiet or loud. Loved the poem. Congrats on double win.
This is so fiercely stated. I loved it.
