I Do Not Want to Retreat Into a Shell.........................

     "The ceiling fan goes round and round and makes the ticking noises just like  a clock left long ago...............left behind in history.................

of time lost and never re-gained......seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years...............................     of decades........    of centuries............    of an era............    of generations....................   

     in trade for digital, soundless, mindless noise to the silence and  the lone click, clicking and the tick, tick, ticking of the ceiling fan turning, turning, turning, turning

     and the drops of rain begin to pitter-patter on the window pane 
    

     and the drops of pain run down my cheek!"

I do not wish to be unresponsive!
