Poems don't grow on trees

The alarm in the guest bedroom is ringing
loud, incessant, annoying
the lovers inside ignore the sound
the pitch screeching,
yearning to be shut off
it doesn't even like to hear itself
One loves the other who loves another
Xanexed out they sleep together
through the noise
the noise!
I want to go in and shut it off
But I don't want to disturb them
Maybe they'll throw it out the window
break the glass
ruin my life
please no
just wake up and bring it to me
I'll shut it off for you
I'm still up
and up and up!
Flying Falling Running Walking
Sitting, laying, thinking
thought - off shut clock alarm
thinking being alarm clock
ringing: shut off please
and thought off shut
and out it all goes
being still ringing
no vibration now singing
now annoying
again, thought kept alive
by the noise kept alive
by indifference, but then to thought
and shut off off shut
no more goes thought
although the ringing continues...
