accentuation

Recently have been walking around city - headphones on -
playing loudish electronic music - - - - - - - really adds a comedic element to things -
Look at all these foriegner's faces - Americans too - some of the expressions - accentuated/punctuated by the music - are classic (e.g. dollar-chaser-eyes, the dear-caught-in-headlights expression, the let-down; unmet-expectations guy, cellphone-drama girl, cut-throat eyes, frazzled-overworked-pants-suit lady, the just-swallowed-canary look, the totally-brainwashed-to-fit-in bamboozly look) - some of them even eliciting out loud laughter - at the sheer bozoness of it. . . - - - esp. in light of the whole '100 yrs hence' deal - - - i.e. 'what will matter 100 years from now. . .
A smile curls on - watching a scuttling batch of leary masses - scared stiff, waxing andriod, eminating gonzo 'I fit in' vibes.. to quote Thoreau: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." behnd all these sad sack or what not faces, on beats in the inner hearts... varying degrees of hope across board - by looks of it, far more on glum tip than high hopes for eternity in Heaven. . . guess I should be uping and doing something about the situation rather than just chuckling about it, wearing pair of bubble headphones... (*watch this rhymes*) but what? write a paragraph blog about it? what's that going to do!!!!!!!
Ok, remove headphones (listening to large set of philosophical lectures on cd [burned into ipod] these days) and engage people in Spanglish heart to hearts. . . hmm. .
'six' to one, 'half dozen' to another. . .
