"Stay golden"
- Johnny (The Outsiders, S. E. Hinton)


Waste deep in dirty incandescent light
I cant even rub it out of my eyes
The silence is an insect symphony
Wrapping itself around my quiet mind

They call it silence;
I call it the sound of a fever
or a cloud,
screaming

Gil: I would like you to read my novel and get your opinion. 
Ernest Hemingway: I hate it. 
Gil: You haven't even read it yet. 
Ernest Hemingway: If it's bad, I'll hate it. If it's good, then I'll be envious and hate it even more. You don't want the opinion of another writer. 

Another excellent poem from the wondrous PaigeStreet. But I have to disagree with jade, you aren't very good at poetry — you're amazing at it. Anyway, back to the poem. Short, but very sweet, and although I like the buzzing silence that comes with staying home alone, I understand where you're coming from. Very nice. 5/5
