THIS IS MY LOT, BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS.

Can't you tell? That the loudest scream
Is in the eyes looking down at dinner time;
In the tear drops who stream
Down incognito,
Like a parenthesis around a mouth shut.
It is in the words clad loosely in whispers,
Like 'don't go', and 'good-bye'.
It is in a veiling chuckle not revealing
Like the one you seem to sing without a rhyme.
It is in a naked finger once symbolled
With unceasing eternity,
And in a swollen eye.
It is in a weary head hung low.
In the chilly thrill of speed.
In silence.
Couldn't you tell? My loudest scream
Laid bare and invisible
Was in what I asked-
It was in 'why'.
