At the Berkeley Free Speech Cafe

Neat poem with nice kicker. 


       At the Berkeley Free Speech Cafe

                    by Thomas R. Moore
The students are seated,
one to a table,
at tables for two,
ears wired,
laptops humming,
cell phones buzzing,
fingers texting,
iPods thumping,
toes drumming,
email flashing,
lattés cooling,
textbooks open,
reading for an exam
in Issues in Contemporary Culture 102.

Less sound and fury than an argument in Sign Language.

(I know; I saw an ASL debate yesterday.)
