Safely
One is required to sit quietly
Patiently
Observantly
Eyes trained eternally
Staring at an unmoving screen.
Like a holiday on hold
Everyone is waiting.
Endless
Forever.
Black eyes
Searching for motion.
No anxiety
Nothing.
Waiting
Silence
The lights dim
As one; there eyes adjust to the change
As one; there eyes focus on the flicking screen
Lean back.
Wave after wave of images
Rush at the unsuspecting drones
Filling them with emotion!
Awe!
Fear!
Sorrow!
Joy!
Drones blink
Unison fails
Crumbling walls of familiarity
Hard unyielding skin produces goosebumps
There is a draft.
A Single stands up amongst the confused.
A Single feels, eyes searching the surrounding.
Civilization has crumbled
And Personality realizes they have been sitting for a millennium.
Waiting for change that came and went
Because they were waiting
Not doing.
An Individual is no longer a drone.
