SILENCE 2



the worlds quiet

why so quiet ?

its a cliche cartoon - a photocopy of itself
    a
    muted
    Truman Show for kids

all the speaking streets 
are now dumb land
    their
    voices
    rent rooms off-grid
pay for them with
    new
    art
    and practical skills 

clouds - 
    empty comic speech bubbles 
    float
    on Thunderbird wires
    over green brown curves 
    scraped and raped
    with cement and rust

should i lay my ears to the turf
and
hear
what the earth organ murmurs ?

    who mans
        the truth-broadcast
            these days ?

all i hear is the click when the fridge comes on
            and
        my
    own
heart
palpitations
