It Will Fall

Do you remember the Silence?

that time I spoke

I recorded it for you

maybe you need to reflect

memory's important, you know

maybe you saw something of use

in the corner of your mind's eye

what's behind you?

oh, sorry, just a breath of air

did it tickle?

I didn't know the quiet breathed. A rattle-y breath

perhaps a child's rattle?

What are you speaking of, dear sir

I'm afraid you make no sense

silly man, can't even keep your bowtie straight.

allow me to fix that for you

but oh? what's this?

something is flashing.

What's wrong with your hand?

Why, I'm afraid I can't remember.

Now now, look at me

you're going to turn around and fix my bowtie

now, tell me what the Silence looked like
what did it feel like
how did it sound.

I don't know.

Neither do I.

Maybe you should check your messages.

back up a step.

didn't I capture it for you before this?
the silence in words

it must be around here somewhere...

my alien senses tell me you need to look down.


One, two, three, four, five
the harder you look, the more you'll find
the world will blossom into colour
when you see something seldom sought.
