Can busy get busier
and distractions increase?
Yes - to levels beyond
our control and release.
When I dial down
and then pull back
My sight and hearing
get more feedback
Was that the building
groaning and creaking?
A distant machine
or the wind speaking?
What did my body
just say to me now?
I will speak back
with my own know-how
On the noisy street
and broad avenue
Vehicles pass and
conversations, too
Are all of these
messages for me?
The birds and dogs
and even the breeze?
Who is to say
a fact - or a tease
Just remember, folks
No soundtracks, please
