can you hear the static?
pulsing beneath
the planes overhead
the cars racing home
the dog yipping
the birds singing
the wind blowing
the static hums
with a heaviness that
wears away the mind

can you hear the static?
vibrating your skull
confounding your senses
shattering tranquility
a restless condemnation
a sultry disillusion
the silent stare of god
unblinking into eternity
a spectacle of phantasmagoria
still the static humd
slowly grinding thought
into silt to line the sea
