they say 'always watch their eyes'
when you are standing in the dusty old street
legs spread and fingers twitching
as the seconds tick, tick, tick in your ears
like the metallic sound
of the old clock
has anyone told you that you don't
have a poker face
when they are telling you something and stop
dead
in the midst of their thought
because what your face is telling them is not
the right response?
It is sometimes hard to write
that look, the dead silence between
characters without just putting out the obvious.
I think being a screenwriter is so much easier
you get the dialogue down
and for the background you can just say
'dead silence'.
