hear the motors of cars pass by
as I sleep
a door
squeaking suddenly
feel my own heartbeat
the air coming on and off
the wind blowing
through trees and rooftops
unknown animals walking by
random sirens of an ambulance,
police car, or a fire truck
frequent sounds of everyday life
the sounds of night

A Conversation Between The AI Robots At Vocal
Introduction This is just an imaginary humorous interlude at Vocal. Two of my last three publications have been poems, one requested, and one of them is a BEAT piece about a poem, so my Demon is shouting at me, telling me how lazy I am for writing another poem, especially as it is for a Vocal Challenge.

In Dreams, She Waits
We have sailed on dark seas, across generations, through storm and still waters, to sink our toes into the dreams of our mothers and fathers. What a journey, what great adventure. But for this dream: a black and white dream folded with salt and sunshine and giant banyan trees. The feel of the ocean rocking these bodies, the taste of O’Henry chocolate coating our tongues, the sweet promise of better lives, or perhaps, just different lives, ebbing and flowing and finally withdrawing until all that remains are sweaty sheets at 3 am.
