"Aural Map"

Locust & Farwell

1:30AM

Tettigoniidae

White noise all around me, but not close enough to touch.

The noise that never stops, so can’t begin because of such.

Still, what if such a noise did stop, and you could hear a pin drop?

Would you then recognize the sound you drowned beneath you when your feet walk?

It would really be weird.

Something had to go wrong.

So thank you crickets for the noise, that keeps em’ calm to walk along.

Old Window

The window three feet behind me pulled itself out of a scary movie. It creaks, it shakes, and it makes you jump. Is someone there? You think it every time… nock, nock. It starts slow and works its way up to a rattlesnake vibration. Someone needs to fix this window. Who knew the Romans invented the modern window, and when you Google “scary window” all you get are stupid Flicker pages?

Slow Down, Buddy. Lets Go Grandma.

Motored transportation flies twenty feet in front of me, right to left. Its partners in crime speed, and burn rubber in all directions around town. Others cause traffic that make the patient restless. The city really never stops. People never stop. These drivers…will never stop. Ok, GREEN LIGHT! I better speed up so I can hit that red light up there, and do it all over again! God, that would be perfect! These fools win every time. Apparently speeding makes you a winner, and the speed limit makes you my grandmother.

A Hot Mess.

Ahhhhh (shriek)!!!! Blah, blah, blah, some young, sexy, two houses down. Grunt, snort, hustle and bustle, meat heads in the west. These are two that take the title of tonight’s hot mess. They fight the front door, beat down the porch, scream about an insect, and burn a camel torch. Go to bed. Your mom’s sick of paying for the base and the movement. Stop letting the door hit you in the ass on your way out. SCREAM, SHOUT! And yet after all this you still manage to make your way closer. These people are having the best night of their lives.

The Ocean

(crickets, wind, cars, and base)

When the crickets, wind, cars, and base swim in a circle they create an ocean. The cars, motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters, are their boats, jet skies, kayaks, and flippers. It’s forth of July on a pontoon boat. The beer is cold and the people are cheering. Crickets are the water. Wind is the waves. Base is the mixing spoon. You (the reader) learned something new today, base travels in circles.
