Chapter 1 - crowd-music
Chapter 1 - crowd-music
A shrill small yip,
An old tenor laugh,
Two women’s coffee-bar conversation
Rise above the rumble,
The thrum,
The hive-buzz and
Crowd-music.
A low, drawling growl
Of work and politics
Makes strange harmony
With a young family,
Television fancies, or theology.
I am silent in the choir,
Too distracted not to hear,
Too confused to more than listen.
But I can listen
To the cadence,
Group noise roar,
Spoken-word themes,
Falling and twining and rising.
