A neighbor fills her television
dinner
with too much pepper and screams.
One woman stabs at her door with a sword.
Another, overweight, steps in the shower
And screams, "Fat! Fat! Fat!"
A man who takes flying lessons.
Soars high in the clouds to scream.
Another dives to the bottom of his pool
Where he screams underwater.
I like an interior, smiling scream.
When you walk past me on the street
I nod my head to you and, smiling, scream.
You never hear me through the smile.
The inside scream has no echo.
