Porphyro in Akron
O City, your axles need not the oil of song.
I will whisper words to myself
And put them in my pockets.
- Hart Crane
selection from Porphyro in Akron
This is only a part of the longer poem but it wasn't, in this case, the overall sense of the poem dedicated to a booming rubber manufacturing town, that appealed to me, just the turn of phrase. These lines, I think, capture perfectly the introverts take on a busy scene.
