shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Through all the murmuring, all the murmuring, I slit my eyes like a contented cat. Watching it all, trying to sleep, trying to sleep away the noise. I feel something over my shoulder. watching. My headphones are in, but I’m listening to nothing. Unrelated conversations begin to relate. Their words overlap and answer each other from across the room. It will be quiet soon.
