click of dishes in the sink stops
hold breath—
cricket opens dialogue for a long solo unanswered
hold breath—
exhale without phonation
riot of tumbling ashtrays clatter uselessly in head
—broken glass to step on later
shoe on linoleum queries rhythmically
throat clears pointlessly
questions seek answers roundly flatly softly bluntly
tap spews water
humming
answers
