Poetry 101

Noisy Train
Can't You Hear!
All This music, shouting in your ears?
All that jazz, gospil, drums, and such.
Can't you hear all this ruckus?
Men and women, boys and girls
Shout out behind you
envying you!
You come and go as you please!
What a tease.
Yellow eyes, Long silver torso, and red behind
I see that you can see me
Why cant you hear me?
Perhaps your twin sister drowns out my voice
Noisy train cant you hear?
All the history happening in here?
Dickinson, Langston, Mingus all scream out at you
Noisy train cant you hear all that music shouting in your ears?
You come and go as you please
What a tease!

Natalie Avilez
