...

Behind the window on the other side of the track, I watch the energy and movements of a silent mouth, stretching into sounds unheard. Wrinkles appear on forehead. Cheeks move upward. Eyes widen, look away. Eyelids tighten. Chin hugs throat creating folds. Head shakes. Neck stretches forward. Frown takes over, and mouth dances away uttering an avalanche of words.
