The Quiet Machine by Ada Limón

I’m learning so many different ways to be quiet. There’s how I stand in the lawn, that’s one way. There’s also how I stand in the field across from the street, that’s another way because I’m farther from people and therefore more likely to be alone. There’s how I don’t answer the phone, and how I sometimes like to lie down on the floor of the kitchen and pretend I’m not home when people knock. There’s daytime silent when I stare and nighttime silent when I do things. There’s shower silent and bath silent and California silent and Kentucky silent and car silent. And then there’s the silence that comes back a million times bigger than me, sneaks into my bones and wails and wails and wails until I can’t be quiet anymore. That’s how this machine works.
