Fore- and Aft-ground

Background noise 
elevates, poised 
to stifle
freeish thought.
Bought by silence,
caught in violence,
shoulder should
sink down.
Background choices
sit by voices
talking pith
to oranges.
Decisive statements 
divide and chasten
tater mashing tots.
Childhood's crashing
stumbles humbly
knowing not its plot.
