Silent Commute

While getting on the BART a day or so ago during regular busy hours I became a bit uneasy. It was because I realized that even with all the commuters around the sounds seemed to be the occasional footsteps, a P.A. announcement and the train headed the other way; there were no people noises. Nobody was talking to each other or talking on the phone. It was an eerie feel of a world on head phones. This is however better than a world screaming at each other.
