Cacophony

The world outside is as noisy as my mind
The scraping of snow shovels on sidewalks
Metal and concrete grating through the cold
The air above tears as a plane overhead
Shreds the barrier from ground to sky
The sirens wailing down the road
A megaphone telling someone to pull over
And I wonder if I would have stopped
If someone had shouted loud enough
To cut through the chaos you caused inside
