Nothing Sounds Like I Think It Will
November 14th, 2018 Nothing Sounds Like I Think It Will Nothing sounds like I think it will The sound of my voice The words it is saying Out loud Over the intercom On my answering machine To the people I love To the people I do not know Who are one and the same The sounds seem foreign from The way they resonate in my head Gunshots Train tracks Sizzling meat Leaves crunching Heavy breathing Brushing Teeth Swishing Spitting Chewing Scraping Waterfalls Faucets Tears Of sadness Of joy Sadness and joy themselves Songs from my youth The sound of my voice The words it is saying Unexpected Foreign In my head In my heart
