Shut it out.

All

of

it.

Especially,

sounds.

Tap-tapping

and voices.

Drifting and intricate.

Foriegn but close.

Suffocating.

Too distant.

Making me uncomfortable.

Pressing

pressure;

it sizzles on my skin,

and

just

underneath.

Boils.

Bubbles.

Rises.

Like anger joined to lonliness.
