The cacaphony of night noises
Trapped in the echo chamber
Between the apartment buildings
Pushes the limit of my comfort.
The sound of freeway traffic with
Slapping wheels and whooshing 18-wheelers
Bounce between the stereo sounds coughing
Deep percussions and treble winds.
These noices of my night invade
This dark cocoon of my room.
I would be disturbed except
To not have these noises
Is a terrible nightmare of silence.
