Quiet Through Tunnel

A crow
A one-stringed instrument
Traditional music on a transistor radio A car door slam
A city bus
Electric burger fan
Tour guide
Double decker bus ride
Cable car bell
Voices in agreement
— then in dispute
Plastic bottle dog chew
A swoosh of a car on Columbus
And another
Another
Up the alley
Horn in the distance
Bread truck slowing
Waves
Whistles
Computer warnings
Loose manhole cover
Library door, shhhhhh,
Finger snap, baby cry
Refrigerator switch
Thrumming electricity
Church bell ringing
One,
two,
three.
