SILENCE HERE
IS NOISE ELSEWHERE
WHERE IS ELSE?
ELSE IS EVERYWHERE BUT HERE
ELSE IS ALSO.
ALSO WHERE IS EVERYWHERE BUT HERE.
TURNS OUT
HERE ON THE BLOG IS A SMALL PLACE
FREQUENTED BY FEW,
ABSENTED BY MANY.
THE NOISE ELSEWHERE LIES IN MANY PLACES.
I SOMETIMES MAKE A NUISANCE OF MYSELF THERE
APPLYING MY NATURE THERE,
MAKING DEPOSITS WHERE THERE ARE NO ACCOUNTS
LIKE A GHOST MIGHT IMPOSE ITSELF IN AN OTHERWISE BENIGN SITUATION.
THE BLOG IS AN ISLAND TO WHICH I DO NOT ESCAPE.
THE BLOG IS AN ISLAND PRISON
OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
