in life that i personally could live
without,
that i don't care if i ever
hear them again.
i list them in no particular
order, but here goes.
the song, the edmund fitzgerald.
what's worse? going
down with the ship in the icy
great lakes, or listening to
the 20 minute dirge
by gordon lightfoot.
then there's smoke alarms,
car alarms,
air raid sirens. not good. not good.
bag pipes, leaf blowers.
babies crying. i have nothing against
the little bambinos,
i just don't like it when
they cry.
nails on a chalkboard,
long banjo solos. snakes
hissing.
a knock at the door.
the phone ringing after midnight.
firetrucks, police cars.
politicians, the left or the right,
giving a speech.
long winded preachers
talking about the pancake
breakfast at 5 a.m. on sunday morning.
i'm sure there are more sounds
that get under my skin,
but that's the list for now.
oh, one more,
wedding bells.
