these living quarters
are stifling
they react to my enduring trust
in their protection
but the walls around here are paper thin
and the voices that are heard
through their layers of paint
seem aggressive
and impulsive
and perplexed
community
at the root of communication
is a difficult connection to achieve
there are among us
a vast number of recorders
they replay the same
broken dialogue over and over
these peripheral devices, these machines
are plugged directly into the core
of our small society
since they're fueled
by common fears and misconceptions
they detain a fresh creation of ideas
doing, breathing, living life
and screaming at the world
is so much better than sitting prim
and laughing in ridicule
while your insides want to tear you apart
organ from muscle until they tear out your heart
