from this week in 2005
unsound
expectation
I had expected the sounds
from all below
to settle into the
comfortable hum
within the sonic
universality of aum
I’ve been accustomed to
this perception
in the heightened awareness
stimulated
by focused intent on the
physical climb
But yesterday there was an
unfamiliar whine
above the drone and apart
from it
It was less plaintive than
the squeals
of freeway semis more
shrill than train wheels
fighting against the
curving rails
a sound distinct from
historic wails
of horror beyond humanity
that humanity so often
creates
I know this subtlety
relates
as all sounds from the
common source
I just did not expect it in
this state
I underestimated us of
course
