poem

PeachesCan you please stop Eating that peach so loudI hate the sound of chewingGnashing lips and tongueThe wet succulent tearingOf teeth into flesh I hate the sound of anyone eatingI hate the sound of breathingThe necessary noises of the livingDon ’t cough, don’t sneezeDon ' t fall asleep until I ’m passed outBe silent pleaseLet there be no soundsMake it as if I was all alone I ’ll wait for when the silenceOf ceaseless thinking Becomes a deafening horror And then go out listening For clues of where youMay have gone9/6/22
