Quiet

Noise said, "Where are you?"

Quiet said, "I'm here, my love."

"I've failed you miserably," said Noise.

"No," said Quiet, "you are what you are, a product of your environment. You fill me with the sounds of the world. You complete me."

Noise said, "Wouldn't Music be more compatible with your nature?"

Quiet said, "My nature is to be filled with sound. Music seduces me. You, Noise, are the streets, the homes, the raging wind, the dog's warnings.

You are anarchy and follow no rules and I love you for it."

Noise was quiet.
