roar

low roar of passengers scurrying

to individual gates to catch their train

 

huge roar of fear and panic at news

of sabotage of tracks

 

low roar of massed people

simply talking among themselves

 

huge roar of approval by fans

of world-class athletes performing

what seems humanly impossible

 

low roar of crowds finding food, shelter

huge roar of behind-the-scenes

work to provide
