Here There is no Silence

Listen
Do you hear that?
The AC is making a quiet hum
It's a bit distracting
But not too bad

Listen
Do you hear that?
The keys on our keyboards are clicking
It’s inconsistent, annoying
I wish it would stop

Listen
Do you hear that?
Voices are speaking, high and deep
The words are interesting
I don’t mind it 

Listen
Do you hear that?
Quiet breaths, in and out
Everyone is participating, it's comforting
I hope it stays

Listen
Do you hear that?
Footsteps, soft or loud
They are followed by other sounds, jarring
Too unpredictable for me

Listen
Do you hear that?
The flipping of thin pages
Soft and familiar
My favorite yet

Listen
Do you hear that?
The creaking of a chair, whiny
Discomforting and irksome
I hope it does not get repeated

Listen
Do you hear that?
Footstep again, but different, far off
They are almost imperceptible 
Their mundane nature is welcome  

Listen
Do you hear that?
A zipper, closing a bag
It's not the right time, too early
There's no need for it now

Listen
Do you hear that?
A bell, far too loud and sudden
A jarring interruption
I want its trill to cease
