02 Dec FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN, LEND ME YOUR EAR DEFENDERS

The gentle vice

that keeps your head in place

Vault doors on the Safe Room

The clasp securing the jewels

Sonic drawbridges

guarding side gates

Binary black holes

holding a centre of gravity

Flood defence

against the rising waves

Matching comfort cushions

Personal Echo Chambers

Dual air locks on a space station

Shields aligned

The world

on mute
