    When She Spoke

    When she spoke, she didn't speak with gracefulness or with a smooth flow of words. Her speech was always choppy and broken up. She struggled with words, not because of an impediment of any kind but because it was so much easier for her to be silent. Ah! Silence, a pause, a rest.   Keeping her lips resting on top of one another, her tongue resting behind her lower teeth, it was one of her favorite things to do. She didn't need to struggle trying to get her point across, or explain herself to anyone, and lastly, she didn't have to respond to anyone speaking to her.
