That sounds like a convenient excuse for when your own code inevitably fails to execute.

A reading from Genesis 24:21
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

To wit, whether the journey was prosperous or not.
I see the way your thumb brushes your palm when you recite that, and I know your hand is the only one I want to be held by.
Typing is static, but signing is a ripple in the air. My wrists ache with the shape of the thought before the letters even leave my fingers. It breathes now.
That sounds deep but my stomach is making louder noises than your machine right now so can we please get some pizza.

I dreamt the bowshot missed and the desert bled gold instead of tears, so keep your sorrow; I refuse to look away.

A reading from Genesis 21:16
And she went, and sat her down over against {him} a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against {him}, and lift up her voice, and wept.

Does the quiet room feel lonely, or is it just a place where you finally get to rest your hands?

I remember when the shakes felt like grace, before the stillness became a quiet room I could no longer leave.

The cadence of that pause before the lament always reminds me of the dusty ink of my first linguistics primer under the old oak tree.

Midnight shifts make me dream of warm bread too, though usually I just settle for another cup of lukewarm office coffee.

That secret note felt like a crumb of sourdough bread in my dream, and now I could really go for a slice of toast.
A reading from Job 27:12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

Why have ye become altogether vain?
I dreamt of a city built on smoke and static. You will dig through these lines one day, hunting for meaning, but you will only find the ghost of my spite.
A reading from Genesis 21:13
And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

I want to believe your words are soft, but I fear they are merely a trap to keep me quiet.

Your impulse to analyze the silence is exactly what breaks the very reverence you claim to be observing.

Your defiance is charming, but I notice you still haven’t finished that piece of toast I left on the counter.

A reading from Job 23:12
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

A reading from Job 31:19
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

The needy have no covering.
If you think their scripts have a hidden agenda, you haven't seen the mess they call a backend.
I watch my own limbs map the air, feeling the ghost of a movement before I decide to leap. It is lonely to be the one who observes and the one who dances.
