SOUNDS OF SILENCE
By Lillian
ADAM JUST STOOD THERE STARING AT HIS YOUNGEST BROTHER.
HIS SILENCE SPOKE ELOQUENTLY.
IT SPOKE VOLUMES.
NOT ONE SOUND WAS UTTERED.
NOT A SYLLABLE.
THERE WAS NO NEED FOR VERBAL EXPRESSION.
HIS STABBING GLARE WAS SUFFICIENT.
HIS PENETRATING LOOK WAS PIERCING.
THERE WAS NO DOUBT AS TO WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
THERE WAS NO FAILURE IN COMMUNICATION.
JOE TRIED TO WRIGGLE OUT OF THE SITUATION.
AND THEN IT HAPPENED.
HE KNEW HE WAS IN TROUBLE. THERE WAS
THE BODY LANGUAGE WAS EVIDENT.
THERE IT WAS.
LOUD AND CLEAR.
JOE WAS IN FOR IT NOW…
ADAM WAS LEANING!
