my oven buzzes
a brigade of wasps
swarming in cacophonous rage
disruptive at day
disruptive at night
the convector harmonizes
the din of the highway
the rumbling trucks and roaring cars
that permeate my walls
dusk til dusk
as the oven prattles
the mind buzzes too
it ponders what else in my life and yours
is ripping itself apart
to the tune of i94
