i know

i am cranky
when
the birds screaming
outside
pisses me off

all i want is

silence

or maybe some
ryo
playing softly
undisturbed

the birds
did not cause
this headache
i am not
irrational

not that

irrational

but every
trill
every
whistle

is
a finishing nail
in
my eyeballs

with an eight pound
sledge
to drive it

home
