Jackhammer

If you could hear what I do
You would surely have your fill
For I’ve spent the past few hours
Being blasted by a drill.

They’re tearing up the street outside
And that incessant noise
Does much more than just annoy – 
Your concentration it destroys.

I cannot hear my music
And believe I’m on the brink
Of relinquishing the brain cells
That I need to stop and think.

There are sounds that are acceptable
But others make you crack
Like the jackhammer outside
Which feels akin to an attack!
