HOLD THE MUTE BUTTON
by John Yeo

Many passengers sharing a long-haul flight across the globe.
Transcontinental,
A darkened atmosphere. 
Day turned into night.

An undercurrent of sound. 
A babble,
A torrent of voices in a vacuum.
What is under discussion?

A flood of unidentified thought,
Mostly inconsequential, 
Minds deprived.
Stimulus provided by a small screen in front of the eyes.

To a highly gifted sensitive mind,
Deprived of sensory stimulus,
Are these telepathic thoughts, voiced?
Or are they vocalised undercurrents?

Sitting in a cramped row of seats
In front of an illuminated screen,
Time drags on.
The sound continues unabated.
Sound delivered through a headset.

UNIDENTIFIABLE~~~~~~~
