The World as a whole
The voices are always
in different languages,
different tones,
localized fervency,
dressed in sharpest stretch fit gear
and when they drone,
they drone on in unison,
subletting the gates
of hell just below their
cavernous throats.
I stand befuddled,
alone and slightly amused
like the bull that follows
the tinkling sound of a bell
to the slaughterhouse.
