A small silence,

showed him who he was.

When they were children, Adam broke a window while playing football.

Their mother asked what had happened,

there was a brief pause.

Adam said nothing.

His brother took the blame.

The punishment was minor. The window was replaced.

But Adam still remembers the silence.
