this missive's addressed to a baby,
eight days old, not yet addicted
to inhaling fossilized pollen
or bitten with cynicism?
—Amy Gerstler
The technology of silence The rituals, etiquette/ the blurring of terms silence not absence/ of words or music or even raw sounds/ Silence can be a plan rigorously executed/ the blueprint of a life/ It is a presence it has a history a form/ Do not confuse it with any kind of absence —Adrienne Rich, "Cartographies of Silence"
