sitting
still for a moment
turning
off all the chatter music
news
the neighbour
teachers
beggars haters
feeds
the furious fish
with
a megaphone
there’s
silence for a second
then
suddenly the deafening
roar of
your heartbeat
waves of
blood
rushing
past your ears
gush
upon gush
of white
noise
fracturing
your inner
hearing
then
the urge
to shut yourself out again
to chat
and sing
to
exchange your own
chaos
for external order to
shake
your head to the news
laugh at the neighbor
ignore teachers beggars
hate haters
be fed
and swim along.

I like the chaotic, almost nonsensical style. It is impressionistic in a way. A ceetain mood is certainly conveyed. Familiar feelings: this need to shut out all the chatter, as well as the compulsion to chat.
Yeah, generally this is about this schizophrenic human condition of always wanting the opposite of what we got. Being alone, we want company; always being around people, we can't stand them anymore. Being thrown back to our own selves, we long for interaction again...
