97

if 97 girls found a common voice
what would it sound like?
hysterical giggles?
a babble of gossip?
incomprehensible girl talk?

if 97 orphan babies found a common voice
what would it sound like?
a piercing wail?
too-many cries of pain?
scared silence?

if 97 orphan baby girls looked for a common voice
would they find one?

(asha sadan, an orphanage in khetwadi, bombay, currently has 97 orphan babies in their care. all 97 are girls.)
