I am listening for the radiator to kick in and
I am listening for the water pipes to sound up
I am listening for the clicking of the remote
And I am listening for the latest gossip to be whispered in me ear, and
I am listening for the creaking of my front door.

I am listening for the wind to bang against my window
And I am listening for the shouting of voices
And the breaking of bones.
I am listening for shattering of glass and
For the screeching of car tires.
I am listening for the silence to stop.

I am listening for the baby next door to stop crying
And I am listening for the people on the television
To stop being so cruel.
I am listening for the music to stop on the radio
And for the alarm clock in my head to stop buzzing.

I am listening for the banging on the front door to stop and
I am listening for people to stop trying to convert me to their religion.
I am listening for the birds to stop chirping
And for the water to stop splashing against my window.
I am listening for the silence to return.











ewwww :\
