What goes on

"Do you realize what just happened... the enormity of what we just did?"

This question wasn't meant for me. The voice echoed off the stairwell's concrete walls and there I was by inconsequential necessity. Think of all the conversations going on this minute... Audible life stories, digging deeper with language, with the substantial weight of sound. It makes me sleepy. And the electrified exchanges spark and flame but the quiet here puts it out.
