The cacophony of city streets,
A mish mash of jarring sounds
cars whizzing by, horns blaring,
Ambulance wails in a distance
Buses moan and screech
Clickety-Clack of the overhead
“L” trains rumbling by
The din, the clamor, the ruckus,
the racket, rattle and roar.
The street musicians
Dog barking furiously down the lane
The chatter at the roadside vendors,
Oh, the babel of voices, the drunken brawls.
Come stealthily, O Death,
upon the wings of silent breath,
Underneath the mud and dust
I’ll lie quietly.
