strikes a silent violin in the plant's shadow on my wall
no tears fall from his sad rorschach sillhouette
tears were obsolete for him ages ago
the plant is green and healthy and happy
attracts visitors
improves surroundings
adds life
but behind the cheer
the boy plays for no one
not for joy or fame or status
but because the world whispers to him
he ignores the world's shouts
"Be happy!"
and hears the world's whisper
