BE QUIET
&
Do Not Dare
RE QUIRE
for fear
for fear
for fear

Here is a list of things I can hear: outside
air circles (I hate circles but they don't sound how they look) and
sirens
-

-
Dear whoever is up there, or wherever,
whomever is pushing the buttons
and pulling the levers
please make the person or people
calling for sirens
okay, amen

Even though I don't believe in that sort of thing
(really, I don't know what I believe in
except my own limitations to believing)
I still say that in my head whenever I hear a siren
like a sort of prayer
just in case
for some reason
if I don't, they won't arrive on time
just in case
I'm the one pushing buttons and pulling levers.
Amen.

Back to sounds: stomach growling, leaves chattering
broad and jackaling, something creaks
a distant monster
