Night Noises
Night Noises
By: Tom Wright

Reverberations,
of a summer's night.
A lawnmower overhead,
or that of an ultra light?
Booming bass woofers,
from a cruising car.
With It's ground shaking sound,
I wonder, can it be far?
A barking dog,
Probably something up a tree.
A neighborhood cat perhaps,
should I go see?
An ambulance,
screaming, from down the block.
As I count twelve strikes,
on our grandfather clock.
A backfiring car I hear,
or maybe a gun.
I've only two hours,
before the rising sun.
From the lack of sleep,
I'm a nervous wreck.
Shall I go to work?
awh what the heck.
