I Want To Be Heard

I want to be heard. 
Like a bike dinging. 
Whirling by, has a path. 
Enjoying the busy howls. 

I want to be heard. 
Like a harmonica. 
Making unique sounds. 
Breathing hard and music is made.

I want to be heard. 
Like a helicopter. 
Which eats the sky with its blades. 
And lands on a landing pad every time. 

I want to be heard.
Like a bison. 
Like a campfire. 
Like vanilla extract. 

Opening my backpack.
Heaving this bag on the counter. 
There are no tools or clothes.
Just deflating sounds. 

I want to be heard. 
Even if it’s just the sound of deflating.
