the car alarm

the alarm goes
off
but no one cares.
it's annoying, but it's
not your car,
not your problem.
you go on about your way,
covering your ears,
hissing at the sound
of the pulsing
blare.
it was bumped, that's it.
no one is even trying
to steal it,
though you wish they would
and drive it away,
far far away,
so that the noise
stops
and gets beyond your
hearing range,
which isn't far
at all, really.
