Sounds of a Morning
__________________
The wind
is soft on me today the birds
chipper
a rooster
croaks far away
The
train’s whistle is blown it is April
in Lima Peru
car horns
honk, Juan is hammering away putting in a new water pipe for my wife Rosa
human
sounds in the background
a dog barks?
I think
he’s Lion, Gabriela’s pup!
I can
hear, wood being shifted all-about every-which-way—
Juan is still hammering away,
went to the bathroom five
times this morning;
and it’s
still morning.
I can
even hear the wind!
it’s
liberating (here on my patio rooftop) —
I think
I’ll have a Big Mac for lunch
heard a
car door shut
Juan is
earning his money, busting a gut, two days on this water pipe…!
Sounds
like a neighbor has a quail I’m surprised my
neighbors
don’t have their radios loud as
hell!
Down the
block I hear police horns honking that’s
about all.
