When I listened to this commentary, I found the depth and rhythm of Adam's voice so entrancing that I lost comprehension of the piece; and I found I had to begin again. His tone colors the message with a note of urgency that we all must see the bigger picture of our smaller moments. It is delivered more powerfully than if it had been screamed.

The Editorial Board review from Goldstein prompted me to listen to this piece. His praise is deserved. I'm just a normal average NPR listener, and I really enjoyed this piece. I think my favorite moment was when 'what's-his-name's' invisibility was compared to the phone lines strung above our heads. That line begins a well-metered, marching, thrust toward the end of the piece. It's very well done. I agree with others that this piece doesn't force any grand point, but it spawned a lot of reflection for me - which is kind of a big point in itself. Mostly, it knocked me down a few notches and made me feel a bit smaller. I appreciated the reminder.
