Somewhere,
A cow mews.
Elsewhere,
A dog barks.
A car shifts
Gears as i shift
Sides on my bed.
A baby wails.
A bird hoots,
Wind blows,
Trees rustle,
Twigs fall off.
Roaring cheers
About a TV match.
Oh, how I curse
Technology.
A bunch of teens
Giggle away, a
Door bangs in
The hallway.
Soft taps of rain,
Thunder roars.
Unshut windows
And latches rattle.
A medley of
Noises. A pillow
Atop my ears,
I try to rest.
I cover my ears,
A feeble attempt
At decibel-arrest,
All to no avail.
I want to scream
At the world and
Its noises of all
Kinds and creed.
Can someone let
The world know,
I am desperately
Trying to sleep.
