it makes a crispy breakfast cereal sound
popping sizzling electrical shut down
and then, its silent
as silent as a room buzzing with electronic whir can ever be
my refrigerator mmmmumbles
and the computer snores
and the lights burp
and there's always some sort of dripping and traffic and chattering and birdsound
some sort of disgruntled appliance pouring out its two cents and
running up my bills with its pollution
the american version of quiet.
