Sound Off

Which is worse-

Surrouding
Solid
Sourceless 
Souless
Silence

Breakable by self-banter,
Television,
Radio,
Any activity at all -
Read a book,
Turn the page
Hear the fffflumwap! -

Or
Silence with a source 
A soul,
Sitting
In your space
That might speak/break it (it
s lips apart)
But won't.
But might.
But might -

- Especially if you sound off 
first -
With any sound
At all -

- Shatter the surrounding sterile soundscape into noise...
