We all scream, most of us inside. <br />Outside is another world. <br />A neighbor fills her television dinner <br />With too much pepper and screams. <br />One woman stabs her door with a sword. <br />Another, overweight, steps in the shower <br />And screams, 'Fat! Fat! Fat! ' <br />A man who takes flying lessons <br />Soars high in the clouds to scream. <br />Another dives to the bottom of his pool <br />Where he screams underwater. <br />A friend cleans his gun, screaming, 'Assasin! ' <br />I like an interior, smiling scream. <br />When you walk past me on the street <br />I nod my head to you, and smiling, scream. <br />You never hear me through the smile. <br />The inside scream has no echo.<br /><br />James Schevill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-screamer-discusses-methods-of-screaming/
