to mute

with your magical
new power
you can walk about
the world
and mute whomever
is annoying
you.
one push of an
imaginary button
silences
your critics,
the nags, the angry,
the verbose
and bellicose
those who
don't agree with
anything you've
said. the whole day
long.
mute mute mute.
the lips keep moving
but there is
nothing but the sweet
sound
of quiet coming out.
