poem: "Skronk Noise"

 

Skronk Noise

If I were lucky I wouldn’t be writing this poem

and thinking that straight-ahead skronk noise

like broken glass jumpily undermodulated  

lacks obviously simple instinctive subtlety

            one angry chainsaw too many

            two bluejays squawk spears

            three nervous nellies neigh

            four agitated turnstiles screech

            five punk bands plurally pogo

            six raised highways traffic-howl  

However underattuned my hearing method   

in patterns I don’t hear (unlike mind-readers)

sounds not carefully arranged for hearing chomp

one rambunctious lawnmower scream at a time
