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?
