Two wires.

Or pull you back to a haven.
Maybe pull the words from your tongue.

A taut leash, leaves you snapping at the heels of conversation.

I like it, it's pointed and well-spoken. And I'd say that it's true that in many cases they encourage antisocial behavior. But then, isn't the pick of music much more to blame? I listen to all sorts of folk-rock, jigs and reels in public, when I have something that needs my attention, but I think it makes me more responsive to those around me.

it was the pre-poem thing that attracted me to it, during those depressing times i'd turn my ipod up to the loudest and literally block everything out, only after i had to turn it off did i hear someone calling me antisocial......never turned me off though. so ya, nice write.

The expression of music, reflecting one's soul, would tend to feed (each) in a museful way.
Though, it's true, for those "being shut-up in it's capsule" can act anti-social and even uncool.

However, as Marshall McLuhan once said, “the poet, the artist, the sleuth, whoever sharpens our perception tends to anti-social; rarely ‘well adjusted,’ he cannot go along with currents and trends.”

Uniquely inspired, “this inner Aural” of expression~!
