Does my silence bother you?
Does it offend you?
Does it stir something deep within your soul?
Silence.
Does it eat away at you?
Does it force you to confront the loudest parts of yourself,
The parts screaming from below,
Screaming from a depth, you promised yourself you would never go.
Quiet...
Stillness...
Silence.
Why does that word offend you so?
With all your noise,
Perhaps,
You will never know.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
