NoiseA Poem by Carlos Ochoa
To make noise
What other purpose must there be surely to live in ecstasy, but when it all dies out all you have left is the sound you made as you fall through the solid floor so foolish of you to believe in immortality but right you were as you are immortally restful The sad truth is that you will make no more noise Noise you made as a child screaming Noise you made while laughing loud Noise you made crying low Noise you made when gasping when applauded Noise you made as whimpers when defeated Noise you made with handshakes when about Noise you made with heartbeats when alone Noise you made with music on the floor Noise you made with family once more Noise you made to bring chaos Nose once more to bring your order noise is a state function it wont matter how we did it or how far we took it it will return to the abyss of nothingness when left unaltered when immortality of rest begins only your silent noise will continue and the universe will become that much more silent until eventually there is nothing to hear but nothing itself and all of a sudden we realize, its all the same noise as before just everywhere and for once we accept impossibility of retrieving the noise which is why we will cease to hear our noise once it is long and gone. This is why we write books imprint our names in the snow humorously and graffiti on walls We desperately replace the noise to last a bit longer hoping to be picked up once more and continued or to end in a whimper once more. Isn't this a question of life? © 2015 Carlos Ochoa |
