    Amazing poem. Just heard it just now… This one is right up there with Bob Dylan’s Workingman’s Blues. 👍😃

    The sound of the music is louder than the sound of the speaker in the end of the poem

    The clutches of mediocrity pull at us all, taking nothing, and leaving nothing as well. So it is easy to fall into those hands, held wide. And there is no shame in that. For we all need a normal

    Use headphones for this one. Maybe while riding a subway or a train to work.

    The music is there to avoid copyright infringement. Of course he is not going to state that reason here on UA-cam.

    Conformity... It is necessary to some extent, but oh so banal. And at times, oppressive.

    The music is getting louder and louder while the narrator's voice getting lower and lower! This is senseless.
