NaPoWriMo Number Fourteen

Ode to the Loud People in the Room

Girl with the yellow hair
    please quiet your ice cubes
    muffle your castanets
    styloids are shaken
    your process is loose
    in metal cups
    please please please
    shut
    up
Guys with the cross hip carrier bags
    you are talking to drown out the
    magnified amped out performer but
    ssssshhhhhh
    I said your bags are lovely
    but maybe you could try quiet instead
Drinkers ordering drinks shaken not stirred
    please quiet your voluble cubes
    muffle her yellow hair
    talk with your hands I dare you to
    listen and not speak
   Audience please we are more than canned
    laughter
