white noise
permeates the dawn
a squeaky bearing
on an overtaxed
central air unit
a flock of birds
planes circling low
beneath silver skies
bass thumping
as a car sits
just outside my
bedroom window
all bending time
into a crossroads
of incessant noise
filling my head
with a swarm of
angry hornets
stinging pink flesh
in a tired haze of
insurmountable drowning
my angry screams
absorbed into the
waves crashing endlessly
against a fool
so used to silence
over stimulated
drinking too much coffee
waiting patiently
for the world to end
