We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw.
We are, in fact, the iPod people, leaning away from each other, headpiece filled with earbuds. We have put the world on Mute. We have rendered those around us speechless as statues. We have silenced them as surely as if we'd removed their tongues.
We are the iDon'twanttohearyou people moving silently among the iWantyoutoleavemealone, ignoring the iCouldnotcareless, turning away from the iAmnotinterested and closing our eyes to the iHavebetterthingstodo.
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with ergonomically designed noise reduction technology.
(apologies to T.S. Eliot)
