Noise

I like Noise
The whoop of a boy, the thud of a hoof,

The rattle of rain on a galbanised roof,

The hubbub of traffic, the roar of a train,

The throb of machinery numbing in the brain,

The switching of wares in an overhead tram,

The rush of wind, a door on the slam,

The boom of thunder, the crash of the waves,

The din of a river that races and raves,

The crack of a rifle, the clank of a pail,

The strident tatoo of a swift-slapping sail-

From any old sound that the silence destroys

Arises a ghamut of soul stirring joys.

I like noise.

No!

No sun
No moon
No morn
No noon
No dawn
No dusk

No proper time of day
No sky
No eartly view
No distance looking blue
No road
No street
No 't'other side of way

No warmth
No cheerfulness,
No healthful ease
No comfortable feel in any member
No shade
No shine

No butterflies
No bees
No fruits
No flowers
No leaves
No birds
November!

Stupidity Street

I saw with open eyes
Singing birds sweet
sold in the shops
For the people to eat,
Sold in the shops of Stupidity Street.

I saw in a vision
The worm in the wheat,
And in the shops nothing
For people to eat;
Nothing for sale
In Stupidity Street.
