perhaps tonight i will go home
home
the place where i will go and take
this dirty uniform off
the place with the wine i have
tucked away in my closet
uncork it
and set my thoughts free
while i listen to fine music
bob marley
and maybe
slayer
too
fucking slayer
i won't think about
too much of today
i won't think about the
eight year old
with
a brain tumor
that
i worked with
today
his endless vomiting and headache
i won't think about his
mothers
eyes
or
the tears she
fought back
i won't think about the
broken Spanish i tried my
hardest to speak
and
understand
i won't think about the fact
that
i should be better than
i am
i'm sorry
i am getting out of work pretty soon
and
i'm tired
it isn't that
i don't love you
i do
i just need to stop
thinking about you
for tonight
i just want to think about...
something else

Maxwell Smart and company had a cone of silence. They used it for super secret conversations. Maybe you could find one on E-Bay and use it to stop thinking for a night.
i am down for anything that has to do with codes of silence. that much i know for sure.
