Street

The incessant noise unnerves me

for I am raised to enjoy peace.

I'm out of place amidst all the

squacking and purring of people

I don't know.

And I don't know a lot.

Honking cars disrupt the little peace

I have left.

Making me regret stepping 

out of the house.

Where all things bow to me.

Everything pleases my eyes

and my ears the way 

my stepping out of my house

did not.

I feel drowned by all the busy-ness

around me. 

I feel weak and nauseous. 

Then, I saw black

And I can't hear anything.

During that fleeting moment

I felt euphoria.
