Its different
not hearing the sound of the world
outside my thin apartment walls. in the city.
birds are sirens and people never sleep.
the wind plays with slamming doors, and neighbors
are just as restless as the streetwalkers. only they
are confined to their rooms up above my room and is prone
to dropping, picking up, dropping, picking up their alarm clocks.
trees dont make noises in the burbs.
noise is non-existent
Its different, but not fully unwelcomed
