A coffee shop glass

Breaks in two within my hand.

I see the two shards.

If then the waves are

Loud and terrifying

To your senses,

You might begin to drown

In the sounds

Of a frightening world.

Hold your breath

To stay afloat

With lungs unhealthily

Black, yet still functioning.

You haven’t the time to

Learn how to swim in

Soundwaves.
