a quiet humming
bisects the silence rudely
the computer sings
whispers down the hall
interrupt concentration
children still awake
the fridge murmurs
steadily it's icy tune
the kitchen buzzes
a cough, a hush
the artificial silence
disturbing the peace
she craves the quiet
but gets instead night time noise
the house is alive
