MBC
Pink walls, or is it off white?
Dark red
Green and cheap pine.
Quiet whispers from lips
that read computer screens
with eyes half shut.
Fingers tapping on keyboards
Then phones.
Until something beeps or rings
And they can contact the world again.
And whispers become words to drown out the radio,
Our fellow faceless hiding behind speakers
to keep us company through microphphones.
We are not alone.
We whispers from lips
We fingers that type
With eyes half shut
We appendages attached
to bricks, mortar and computer networks.
We White British
Irish
Black British
Black Afro Carribean
Mixed Afro Carribean
Black Other
Other Mixed, Other Asian, Mixed Other White Black paper screens green off-white other radio speaker phone.
There are no human beings here.
They couldn't fit them in the boxes.
