Stuck in disconnected silence

[Twota]

Stuck in disconnected silence
With pastel hands crossed in protest,
It sat sulking and listening;
Its council of numbers circled
In auditory quarantine
Mutely arguing about the
Capricious character of sound.

[Delta40]

Capricious nature perhaps. Your avatar and poem reminded me of my cat who has lately lost his meow and seems almost miffed by it.
