John Lawless Poet Free verse

The Noise

The noise
	………….the rumbling
		          	….. …. reverberating…..
				   		…………….freaking noise

…fading laughter
		….searching
			        …………….amid tears

………………doubt’s dripping din
			…………tortured,
					……eroding
						………………..persistent

…..chronic cacophony
		     …………un-thought thoughts
				         …………….stuck in the closure
							     …………of an open drawbridge

……mindless mumbling
			………..meandering
					………….through melancholy

….soft indigenous hum
			…..of synaptic songbirds

…….REM sleep
		……fluttering
			        ……….cranial computer reboot

The noise
	…..the ever-present
			………ever elusive
					……evolutionary
					    		……….evidence

Chris Green March 8, 2017 at 9:53 AM Nicely written and presented John. It seems you have the theme of "noise" covered completely in this cool poem.
