Morning Soundscape NYC

car and truck horns,
the rush of water through pipes
and air through a ventilation system.
no birds.
the rumble of the subway,
truck brakes and hand carts,
I refuse to open my eyes,
I try to close my ears,
where are the birds that
call each other across tree tops,
yes the ones that wake me at 4:40 am
I miss them.
