Someone sits down at a screen

can you hear the key strokes ?

 

Can you hear the doors open at daybreak, 

early Spring, birds everywhere, each filled with song ?

 

Can you hear the drumroll of the commuter train

bumpbumpbump,  five blocks away ?

 

Do you know the sound of a choir

dozens of voices becoming one,  swelling toward the clouds ?  

 

Do you remember the pop and hiss of a vinyl record

words you have memorized with each and every imperfection ?

 

Do you know the sound of midnight,  traffic and 

windchimes,  a perfect metallic melody ?  

 

 

 

 

 

of course you do
