is
as deafening
as
the
the
bombs
that
rain
down
on
them
Second monkey
takes refuge
under an umbrella
ella
ella
plugged,
furry ears
delivered from evil
by
a
pop princess
Eyes
turned
as blind as Horatio’s
blink
as fingers change channels
to avoid
seeing
children
drown in them
Mothers
struck dumb
by
the
world's
indifference
open their mouths
to scream
and
are
met
only
with the echo
of
our
silence.
