hey.

pssst...i'm wearing these headphones for a reason.

if i don't look interested in what you're saying i'm probably not, and you should stop talking. besides, i can't even hear what you're saying.

i nod at what i guess are the appropriate times, and my "yeahs" get funny looks because they're in all the wrong places.

without sound, it's easy to imagine you as a skeleton, as framework. i can visualize your skull inside your head, jaw opening and closing, and the mechanics of it all are like a tiny miracle. your mandibles are flapping and i'm thinking your skull and i would have a better rapport than you and i do.

that means your bones are more interesting than you are.
