Mario is downstairs playing the bongos to Brazilian music.
Andy is playing Methodist hymns on the keyboard.
Danielle is playing Clyde on the computer,
complete with very loud sound effects.
And, in a very, very short while,
unless two of the three sounds disappear,
I am going to break the bongos, the computer, and the keyboard
into very tiny, very soundless pieces.
I know, of course, that this would not bring silence.
But at least the screams would sound a single mood.
