Sound Argument
Snick-woosh, rushing stream
Clink, gurgle, doppler shift
Glub then tinkle, drip drip
Crystal scrape metallic
A plastic click, pause, muffled hiss
Gurgle, snort, chuckle, snuff
Plink… Plink plink… Drizzle, drip, drizzle, drop
Coffee is brewing
Dry rustle, crinkle, pages on wood
Chock, thwock, slap, a paper stack
A throaty zip, heavy, dry, leather
Shunk, shunk, economy of motion
A sharper zip, bdruuup, fin!
Schwop, clack-slither-clink,
A full brief set down
Heavy drag, porcelain vs. wood
Clink-clunk, crystal tink
A throaty gurgle, barely heard
Sh-nick (minor tinkle), schwoop, Sh-nick (minor tickle), swoop,
plastic scrape-pop, glub, quiet though, like a heavy drop
scrape-slink-swish, doppler pi
The brew is stirred
A sharp slurp, a quiet sigh
Murmurs, growing, muffled by door
A grunt, more felt than heard
Heavy cup, counter thunk, slop-plop spilled a drop
Woosh, shunk, clunk, rustle fabric
Deep wood grunts, tile is silent
Recess is over
Slither metal, muffled chulunk, woosh of air
BURST wave of voice, fabric rushing, movement!
Heavy wood, creak, ever-so-soft snick of oiled metal
The voices drop, whispered now, a whisper roar
Murmured greeting, wush of skin on skin
Creak, thunk, metallic pling-plong-sprong
Seats are taken
One final creek, sprong-pling-pong
Rubber whuph, carpet snuff, softly leather protests
Deep tenor, no tremor, mellow-stop, mellow-stop
Measured cadences, carry up and settle, up and settle
Now heavy, deeper, rhythmic, damning
A kettle drum of point by point, rolling, inevitable
Move to acquit
