Where are our caves today?

"Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping...

...The words of the prophets are written
On the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound
Of silence." - Paul Simon
