it probably goes without saying i would like to be more erudite but it's hard when you are lazy of mind with a vitreous floater in one eye (that's a new excuse). 

people love noise, democratic noise, it drowns out the voices, noise, it
connects the people, noise, it makes them feel
like a people, a people of the noise, united in the same noise.
noise is like the church of god without god, noise,
a great complexity thus simplified.
and now i recall g-ma rose 
who scratched out every "god" from her
daily word, and pronounced it "pretty good".
she hated noise, unless
it was happy hour.
