Analysis of Background Noise
Barking across the streets
Family talking in the other room
Eyelids, rubbing the pillow sheets
Brain moving, wandering all over
Laughing down the road
Brother, yelling above my head
Sparkly blue-black paintings in the sky
Now colorized, oranges, pinks, sun arose
Skin prickling, now the blanket thrown
Get up, get on my feet
Take a shower, brush my teeth
Checked the heat, to Nana's we go
