The sound of suburban numbness
Folder:
OBSERVATIONS...
The rattle and hum of the air conditioner...
the drone buzzing of the lawn mower with the cheerful zombie at the helm...
the chirpy birds stalked by loved and pampered pets...
the washing piles quietly fester funkyness...
the floor gathers silent armies around the crumbs...
the kids threaten death over their play stations...
the he needy kitchen faucet whimpers drip...tap... drip...tap... Drip...tap...
the phone chimes endless missed calls...
The coffee steaming streamers gripped in my motionless hand...
just as I'm gripped by my mind numbing suburban surrounds
igoring the sunny hues trying to invade my misery...
Respected SS the noisy urban neighbourhoods
Nice write Respected SS the noisy urban neighbourhoods can be nerve-racking at times.Difficult to remain unwired.

The sound of suburban numbness:
Sensational, loved your observations of hum drum life. You painted a very real picture with your words, the reader could be there observing with you. Loved the poem and it's reality.
