THE RESTLESS THRONG

strange fact         that the restless throng

are mostly going somewhere or

coming from it on the way to wherever

they don't belong

just because they can      and is that crazy?

we suppose it ain't

but don't let's think too much about it      otherwise

a minute's silence or a modicum of self - restraint

might ensue

to replace the lunacy of something pointless to do.
