On the cacophony of hot summer Seattle afternoons

 somebody
just shut down
the loud noises
outside my windows
on summer afternoons
when the pane
must stay open
for fear
of turning my room
into an oven
but oh the sounds
they drive me crazy
with their sirens
and bangs
and godfucking
loudspeakers
at midnight and beyond,
and one wonders
how anyone
ever manages
to stay in peace
in all
this
cacophony.

take
a
long
breath
bud,
I remind myself
things will be okay.
Let's go on a walk.
Walk.
that fixes everything.
