Wednesday - Exploiting Silence
Sep. 14th, 2005 11:31 amDriving into work today, I turned off the radio so I could sing.
People should do this more often. Sing songs they know, songs they love, songs they are making up off the cuff.
Houston is full of single people stuck in automobiles all by themselves. Lone commuters with empty space surrounding us. This is because public transportation in this city sucks. It can't pick me up where I live (in the sticks), and to get to where I work, it would make me transfer over and over. So I'm stuck in my car. Today the radio music was clashing with the music in my head, so I had no choice but to turn it off.
I sang. I recited poetry. I wrote poetry that needs writing down if only I can find the time. I yelled at people in the world who have ticked me off, to practice so that if I ever get the chance to yell at them in person, my words will be perfectly honed to inflict the right amount of damage.
All in all, it was a very productive drive into work.
