The Politics of Silence

Molly is the one with the Poli side degree in this relationship, socially engaged and crunching numbers. I'm the former high school jock, lettering in three sports at the expense of my GPA. Molly always says, implying that if we break up, it won't be her fault. Our silence has deepened into something existential. It's not only the silence in the car, it's a silence drifting toward us from the unknown neighborhood.
