Sonnet

There’s a five second moment of silence,

As a song transitions to the next one,

Waiting for the next song tests your patience,

But in no time, the next song has begun.

Five seconds of audible awareness,

Audible awareness to surroundings,

Opinions about the world’s unfairness,

Without a choice, you are now listening.

Listening to a stranger’s point of view,

With little pieces of their thoughts accrued,

You’ll form ideas that you have never knew,

So don’t be sorry for unmeant intrudes.

If you’re interested you don’t have to wait for the next play,

Unplug and listen as you prepare for your next essay.
