RINGING AND KNOCKING




                                                                                 I
Silent Rings
And Rusty boxes
Time ticks by
No knocks I hear.
Outside my window
Continued noises
Laughter, Lights
That’s all I hear.


II
Silent Rings
And rusty boxes
Bells not heard
And notes not writ
Time ticks on and on and on
Traffic hums
And pulses run
That’s all I know.


III

Where to go and what to do

When will I find someone who,

Will fill my ears with ringing and knocking
Stop the sound of the tick, tick, tocking.
Take me where the laughter is
Traffic STOP, when I am his.
