silence reveals noise


finally reached down deep
found some spare change
found a snack
something to get him over a cold
whether it sneaks in through
a screened window
the neighborhood’s silence
reveals so much noise
a few lonely crickets
and the distant hum
of the highway on the other side of town
finally reached and found it
what has been the blockade
no revelation need be found
the strength to plow through
the tool of choice
relaxation determination
in any situation…
