White Noise The whirring of the fan as it moves the air The ticking of a clock that is barely there The hum of the dryer when clothes move around The chirping of a bird as it flies to the ground White noises in the background They don't lead me astray Monotonous soundtracks That accompany my day White noise is what you are Though you scream at a high pitch Begging for attention From an inconsequential niche
