“Did you see that?
What’s that about?
The weirdest thing
without a doubt!
A whole platoon
of wandering bipeds
with shoulders sloped
and downcast eyelids,
shuffling herd-like
mindless of where
they’ve been or are going —
a species unaware!”
“And yet,” said the other,
“they seem so content,
not seeing or hearing
but inwardly bent.
And what’s in their ears?
What manner of being
walks in the world
without hearing or seeing?
They seem in a trance
group-walking asleep,
following each other —
and they say WE are sheep!”
