A Cacophony of Click Clacks


A thought is clacked out The clacks speed up, words flow out The clacks slow down, letters slowly rise The clacks stop completely, a dot seals the line The mouse whirrs speedily, click click, click click The finality of “enter” being pushed Unheard digital fanfare plays, as the representation is sent out Later, almost instantaneously, Eyes stop Eyes read Brain processes Different hands take to keyboard Clack clack, clack clack A retort has been formed Click clack, whirr whirr The cycle continues But amidst the cacophony of clicks clacks and whirrs The sound of crying Is lost completely
