Analysis of Insularity
On a train silent as wire.
In a bubble silent storms cause infinite trouble.
If our silence was wire we could insulate the world.
But if we were wire we could protect the world with our
insularity.
Nothing moves, only petty anger about space and vision.
Excluded like a child banished from as party, isolated I
babble into my territory.
