shush

 shush 

intrude not upon my silence

for the morning is speaking to me

wait your turn when i in turn

ask what’s that you said to me

the microwave is bleeping

one  two  three

even when you turn it off

it goes on bleeping

one  two  three

bang clatter

clatter bang

oh please go away 

oh it doesn’t matter

bang clatter

is the way it seems to me

and look you now how the percolator

is sssss isss percolating coffee 

but hang on 

now wait a minute

that’s gotta be elevenses for me

mmmmm takes a sip

and quietness returns

say nothing for what can be said

of scones and jam and cream

and coffee in silence just for me

shush
