Mute

"You don't talk too much do you?"
  "Nobody asks the right questions"

...Communication Reduced to Clarification,
  Society Reduced to Classification...

Capture me, and put me in a Cage—
  Clip my Wings, and lock the Door—
Feed me daily—say "hello" if you'd like—
  But that is all,—nothing more—
I do not want to be Free, anymore.

I'm a Quiet Bird, I will not Speak—
  Just hang my Cage in a Cozy Corner,
With a Perfect View of your Immense Collection
  Pinned to Glass, in Perfect Arrangement—
Species with Labels,—I Give you, my Patience.
