speaking in space

 human relations, people attempt to communicate

through space suits; they are bound

by categories

often seem to have a dark screen between selves and the

world, distorting perception.

alienated

unduly constricted in expressing

they have lost their capacity for childhood;

shut off from 

fantasies and feelings. most question

the continual effort

to attain more contact and

tolerate restraint or 

limitation.

 

alienated youths, search for

self-expression.

to remedy wrongs/to reform society.

an interest in writing, the theater, or painting

as attempts to communicate

an audience; alienated, external

internal:

write for them

structure

experience as catharsis,

to reveal to an outer audience.

desire for expression becomes

effort to organize

not obscure

to order the chaos

 

The meaning 

is to escape

and avoid the futures,

hemmed in and constrained.
