See the twisting silence

weaving between them;

pursed lips, downcast eyes,

See their knot tighten

further together, closer apart.

    Sad to say Shawn, I could see split couples on parent/Teacher night. Oh how the children suffer the separate looks on whose fault it is little Johnny is struggling in school:(

    Generally, in my experience, it’s Little Johnny’s fault for not doing his work in class…

    Yeah. The teacher is usually the preferred target, however.
