Special Poem

I was walking down to my first period science class, and on the ground I spotted a crumpled up wad of paper. It looked too folded to be just a piece of trash, so I picked it up and unfolded it. (Yes, I will admit, I was hoping for some incriminating information, like someone's life secret or some school gossip I should know about.) I was surprised to find that the words written on it were a poem: "Silence" by Billy Collins.
