Aaaaaaaaaaagggggggh!

Aaaaaaaaaaagggggggh!

A Poem by Michelle Gent
"

A prolonged babies crying fit

"
Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggh!-

Scream, scream, scream
Noise a jack hammer chiseling through granite
Penetrating, pulsating, vibrating
Each nerve, one at a time

Pound, pound, pound
The throbbing in my head
A pick ax inseminating cement
An insufferable strumming rubber band snapping

Green gargoyle's temper
ready to bare it's ugly head
Sanity's betrayal an outrage

I can't think straight
It's maddening, Why, Why?
Why is this baby crying?

Why can't I figure out what's wrong?
I'm the adult after all
She's the infant

At this point she has the information, the power
Incapable and inept to divulge it to me
I don't know who feels more helpless, powerless

Wait!..........What's this?

Silence, ah silence, it is golden
My brain can finally rest
She's managed to cry herself to sleep

The universe has a way of working itself out
If you can only wait out a tantrum
Aaah peace, peace, peace
