No

At the poetry slam
the mics were popping
The slightest whimper was thunder volleyed back and forth 
between the trampoline walls 
so
they switched their hearing aids off
Rogue frequencies mess with poems rattling around heads
so easily

The molecules in the air parted with a soft bow for them
hands sharp
minds clasped
The mics popped and they yelled,
"Do you know the fracture
the unbelonging
the abandonment
the robbery?"

The survivors in the crowd hissed back,
Yes.
The actors did not hear them.
