the short answer is

	these streets 

		must give rise

			to an echo

and then

to a voice

that isn't afraid

			a voice 
					
				not your own
					
					but not a 
						
						stranger either

the roar of ocean inside a shell
			at	one with the voices in your head

chained to a mast in the midst of the raging sea

how 
	sweet 
		the world 
	
tastes

the sirens sing forever
and we are in their song
singing of the sirens
singing of us
until singing is all
there is

amid the rage and these 
bartered 
streets
