When somebody ym-ed "how are you?."
And you'd realized the year had folded without a word from him,
And just by nonchalant "how are you?"
everything came rushing, a fool's, not foolish, memories.
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"
When somebody ym-ed "how are you?."
