Silent But Deadly

Ugly noises A La Carte... Hick ups, Belches and worse than those. Some; warm the cockles of your heart, and singe the hair in your nose. Pickled eggs and beer, the eve before never mix with office politics. The “Silent But Deadly” fog over the floor has never been re-created in flicks. You feel the effects of silent explosion, while eyes water, and paint peeling commences. Then comes the tale telling erosion, in conversation and confusion of senses. Consider the loner who walks the hall and turns to make sure no one is present. Then hikes one hip, bounces one off the wall, and laughs for leaving something unpleasant. © Apr 3 2010

Laugh! The raised hip is always a sure sign of deliberation, but rarely enough advanced notice to run for cover! (You are revealing your silly side in this poem.)
