Sirens


Sirens sound with frequency—fire, police or medical
respond daily to emergencies. Unless involved personally,
we tend to ignore the blaring cacophony of sound.

While driving, pull the car over to the side of the road
and yield the right of way. Somewhere ahead misfortune
awaits, and there is no time to waste.

Be mindful, my friends (not necessarily this, but perhaps
one day soon), sirens could be meant for the likes of
you or me.

The sound comes closer and grows louder. Siren’s shrill
decibels perk and pierce the ear, and in perfect-pitched
harmony, the irritated dog lifts its snout skyward and howls.
