Silence is a snake
Insidiously, it sneaks into every room
It hisses in quiet moments of emptiness
Slithering and sliding into place soon after conversation secedes
Unable to be tamed, silence spills into every situation
A snake of serenity and sometimes of secrecy
A source of awkwardness or peace
Its scales can protect concentration or prevent socialization
Slipping into all spaces, silence is a serpent that stops the senses of sound
Silence is a snake
