I find peace in-between the silence. 

──────────────────

*Sigh*

──────────────────

Everyone is so distracted!

──────────────────
And here, I lie, eager to un-plug from a world I inexplicably have no say in. 

Words bounce off their tongues like badminton 🏸

and the masses still own the plot. 

Here we are, playing a pre-set game in a court full of jesters. 

Watching:

I sit on bleachers in the stands. 

"She throws."

"It’s up!!!"

"Aaannnnndddd miss!" 

Another inning to begin. 

───────────────────────────

—Quicksand and hot dog stands. 

But who’s really winning anyways? 

And is anybody even keeping score?!
