Thrum~ By Lisa Kasabyan

Do you hear it? 
That sound 

Pens skidding over paper 
While piano plays in the background 

Cacophonous cries of joy and stress
Rising between all the parting gifts and wrapping paper 

Knock, knocking on the door 
When the radio blares and spews out its pop tunes 

Cold stone corners 
Heated by the sounds of others’ polite conversations 

Classes click-clacking away 
To the rhythm of a jazzy beat

Quiet twilights in the car 
Chased by the sounds of life 

Classmates and teachers and parents and neighbors and people we’ve never met…
and us 
Nodding along to the thrum of life 

Do you hear it?
