Listen

Listen as you sit in the silent house,
Listen to the fan, stealing sweat,
The frogs outside making riotous noise,
The guinea pig inside, rustling in her cage.
Listen again as you crawl in bed,
Hear the trucks beeping in the distance as they back up,
And then when they stop,
Listen, and hear the dogs bark.
For a night time house,
This sure has a lot of noise.
Listen.
