'Yet though that assured silence is thus freeing, We seek a larger, deeper, vital one.'
Muting for worship, a Shakespearean sonnet from the pandemic
A poem by Glenn Oldham

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,
By host assigned, I join the breakout room;
My sighs and teacup’s clinks make others fraught,
If I neglect to mute myself on Zoom.
