What sounds do you hear?
What are you listening for?
Footsteps in cracked pavement
The rumble of a
Washing machine
The dishwasher
Spinning mightily
Valiantly fighting
Dirt and grime
Or are you listening for
Something else?
What could it be
But murmurs
Little tidbits of information
Pouring out of
Wall-papered walls
Trickling down from
Holes in the roof
No relation to the
Sun above
It's not that life
Is complicated
Though it is
It's just that we wish
To simplify it too much
