VI

Swallowing my words

Staring at the floor

Counting little cracks in the tile

Struggling to smile without choking

Learning to be silent

 

ETHEL

Watching how the dust

Dances out the door

Noticing my hands start to shake

Contemplating taking up smoking

Learning to be silent

 

VI & ETHEL

Always hearing

 

ETHEL

"Hush, Ethel!"

 

VI

"Please, Vi!"

 

VI & ETHEL

"Let's not have this conversation"

 

ETHEL

And so I stand by

While my mind takes a small vacation

 

VI & ETHEL

La la la la la la la la

 

VI

Making little sounds

Other folks ignore

 

ETHEL

Quieting the beat of my heart

Never being part of the moment

 

Vi & Ethel

Learning to be silent

 

VI

Learning there are some topics that we don't even mention

 

ETHEL

And if they come up, then we try to be vague

 

VI

There are subjects from which we divert all attention

 

ETHEL

And some we avoid like the plague

 

VI & ETHEL

I'm

Becoming a mime

 

VI

Biting my tongue

 

ETHEL

Biding my time

 

VI

Trying not to scream

 

ETHEL

Managed it before

 

VI & ETHEL

Knowing if I'm going to survive

Then, dammit

 

ETHEL

I've got to practice

 

VI

Practice

 

VI & ETHEL

Learning hmm hmm hmm
