Question:medium

Read the following poetic extract and briefly answer the questions that follow :
Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the Earth
let's not speak in any language,
let's stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much.
It would be an exotic moment
Without rush, without engines,
We would all be together
in a sudden strangeness.

Why does the poet want us to keep quiet?
