    This poem describes life within large buildings or cities as being confined within walls and cages. It contrasts the noise, screams, and laughter of thousands inside with the silence outside. It refers to citizens as unconscious of their own unconsciousness and worthlessness outside of societal mechanisms. Psychiatrists are said to fix young cracks but make roots shorter, allowing the buildings to quietly slide away in the external silence, with only the sounds of the "unhealed" roaring and the "healed" protected in the illusion of life.
