Poetry: The good old days

SILENT FILMS

What if like in silent films

We only got the chance to say what was important and meaningful to our story,

What if all the babbling was cut out and we were straightforward,

So we'd have to think before we talked, as we sat alone and quietly clarifying our thoughts about a subject,

Would we speak of things to others more accurately?

What if like in silent films

Our expressions on our face and our gestures were more telling,

Us expressing our emotions more often,

Would we all become more genuine?

What would we look like if we were being watched as a silent film as we act like we do NOW?

I don't think the world would make much sense.

2006
