this noise
that is my noise
cicadas but not cicadas and whine
cacophony for one
sometimes music a long
way off a hymn without words
instruments unknown forgotten prayer
a winding cloth raps an interment off key
ricochets
ear to ear
escape almost when inside roar
falls in between outside shurrrrrrrrrrring
white
noise machine or water talk
no silence possible be careful
whatyouwishfor
mocking bird
still sings
Satie Pärt Glass
notes cross and send filaments to
mingle but not muffle
in the laps of sound
I sing myself inside out

Terrible, this is pure crap. I have seen better in the bottom of a toilet.
