the push of wind,

the rustle of trees moving,

the rush of heaters,

the murmur of voices,

the beep of a reversing truck,

the zoom of an accelerator,

the squeak of brakes,

the screech of tires,

the blaring of horns,

the shouts of the workmen,

the whir of the saw,

the shudder of the jackhammer,

the tap of fingers on keys,

the crinkle of plastic,

the crunch of chips,

the bark of laughter,

the slam of a door,

the crack of a knuckle,

the pounding of the heart,

the clatter of a phone,

the sound of me thinking.
