No Escape
by Ronald A PavellasI have grown to loathe public places.
Others seem inured or impervious to the incessant noise:
Not only to the machines of modern life,
But to the “music” that seems by imperial decree,
To everywhere assault and make mad,
This curmudgeon.
I do not need noise to accompany
every human transaction
or public stroll.
I do not respond well to the ubiquitous beat
that others apparently must have in order to take…
that… next… step…
Could it be that I have awakened in a land of automatons
Where external stimuli are required
For daily production and consumption?
How do I get back to where I came from?
