I sit within the silence of distraction held by the noise of morning’s rush
rumble of trains and shriek of car alarms
industrial counterpoint to ongoing birdsong and chatter of squirrels
louder than any of these the clangor of mind
bang and buzz of thoughts going here there off in every direction
follow me follow me follow me each one cries
I pay every due a brief nod of acceptance bid farewell continue to sit
aware in the swirl of cacophony
not yet gone beyond but here and here and here
