dogs barking
distant live mexican band
crickets chirping
the sound of my air conditioning motor slowly dissipating to silence
clicking of my keys
flickering of my lamp prototype due to faulty dimmer switch or inconsistent power
rustling of my clothes as I adjust my legs
cars passing by, far
motorcycles too
rolling snare drum of the mexican band playing, sharp even at great distance
the sound of my hands clap hard as i try to catch a gnat
muted siren wailing, far
crickets louder now, later
I want to get decaf tea so I can have tea in the evenings
last night i had two bags of regular earl grey at 7pm and i was up until 330 in the morning against my will
mexican music coming out loud from a passing car
almost silence as the band finishes a song
just the crickets and my key clicking now
small dogs start barking far off
large one joins in for one bark
now more
no more music
okay now more music
different sounding though, jazzy mexican music now instead of traditional
I'm waiting an extra long time for my clothes to dry in the dryer because
the washer didn't spin the water out of them for some reason
i stood there in the dark and wrung each piece of clothing out one by one
so they stood a chance of getting dry
the water splashed down on the concrete and brought dirt up onto my feet
and flip-flops, my arms started to get tired at the end and i was annoyed
the sound of my palm hitting the wall hard as i try to get a large gnat
leaves rustling, just a few
car engines revving loud
