the clanks

dear darkness falls diary,

this morning i certainly had a fright. i woke up and thought i was in a coma. i looked around but my eyeballs weren't open and my body wouldn't move and i could hear the sound of trains crashing together above my head. i could hear the birds but they wasn't chirpin- hell no- they was peckin. i miss the sound of my grandma's house at night. i wouldn't mind so much being in a coma there. the crickets and the interstate would put me to sleep like a lullaby. what would wake me up were the moos from the cattle across the yard. i liked to watch them graze along the fence by the lane. now-a-days there stands a large feast along that fence as no cows have eaten there for many years. my eyes finally came open this morning and i'm not in a coma, but i'm not at grandma's either. i'd like to think if i did ever end up in one though, someone kind would take me to the farm and let me sleep to the sound of the interstate and crickets and get a cow to moo outside my window. cuz i'm sure i'll be able to hear everything.
