It's Slipped Instead

Often misdiagnosed, that mash of music cues
which carries faces, which seems to smile for cameras
and probably smiled for psychologists as well.

The unbowed, unspoken, and nonmusical weeks,
cluttered in downtown's ear, flow quickly as a corollary
to the great marketplace, which makes up names.

If you react to disparate forms of etiquette as a threat,
a tender person with a worse streak than many see
may have a better ability to brave lymphatic depression.
