DINNER TIME
The Silence resounds.
The click clacketting of the forks echo
in that cavern of silence.
The words that should have been said
float in the Tension, unheard
The young one looks up
She wants to free her imprisoned thoughts;
but the click clacketting keeps click clacketting
with a vengeance,
and the thoughts stay locked up.
The mother refuses to look at Him,
as he glowers and eats,
Click, click…click click
The phone rings
And for a minute the loudness of the Silence
Is swallowed up.

I am confused by you!This means no dinner?
it was supposed to be a poem about awkwardness and it was intended to build the atmosphere in such a way that you felt tense. My father is an was difficult to live with, and there were very many awkward dinners. obviously didnt work for you lmao
