I liked your poem; it captures the stress of too many people living in too close proximity...
And I feel the same about light. How is it that I can go out on a moonless light and still see everything in the yard? This is especially so with cloud cover, which reflects the city lights back to us.

So true. 40 years ago,living in a small flat in Chicago I read "BE HEAR NOW" by Ram Dass. The next morning, all enthusiastic for enlightment, I began to practice meditation and the very first teacher that came my way, just like the book said it would, was a noisy steam radiator, that radiator changed my life. Ain't life grand.
