2am, and i'm standing in the back parking lot of an elementary school.

puff, puff, pass.

the sound of the dead of night:
silence.

wait, scratch that, no.

the sound of the dead of night:
whistling, wind and cars, noise from all over.

it's so loud.
the sound of silence.

it's a strange sort of whispering noise that is recognized around the world as the sound of silence.
the SOUND of silence.
hm.

silence is supposed to be the absolute lack of noise, but no no, we've got it all wrong.
silence is the sound of noises from all over the world, every noise within a person's range, all collected together in such infinite amounts that we can't even recognize them as individuals.

too much sound:
that is silence.

puff, puff, pass.
