Mower<\/p>\n
rattle of ceiling fan on high speed<\/p>\n
hammering of stakes metal to metal<\/p>\n
squeak of my chair<\/p>\n
click of mouse<\/p>\n
snap tap of keys<\/p>\n
birds in trees<\/p>\n
chip chip<\/p>\n
craw craw<\/p>\n
audience roar of distant waves<\/p>\n
there they are the clacking of palm fronds tapping in the breeze<\/p>\n
me sucking my teeth<\/p>\n
a plane moving past bowling from north to south<\/p>\n
a thunk from our wrap-around neighbor’s property<\/p>\n
back to dragging a heavy flat with jangling chains<\/p>\n
across the bare dirt next-door<\/p>\n
grinding of tires on gravel<\/p>\n
backhoe deep metal clank<\/p>\n
another mower stereo mowers<\/p>\n
the sound of gooseneck light shuddering as I jiggle my leg on the floor<\/p>\n
does the light make a sound?<\/p>\n
the garage downstairs worrying<\/p>\n
the sound of me waiting for the mail carrier to pick up<\/p>\n
Sally’s birthday card and lower the flag of the mailbox<\/p>\n
beating the odds to Georgia by Wednesday<\/p>\n
