and the hum

the hum of postmodern civilization is no lullaby
it is the hornets’ nest that gives you no rest
and the hum
and the hum
and the hum
screens and cameras and phones and drones
vomiting their messages all over the senses
and the hum
the sounds of tires on wet and busy roads
is it any wonder we go deaf and blind?
and the hum?
