voices bouncing down the alley
brick by brick
over holes
around two dumpsters
crushed cans
used up paper
through waving screens
people gather 'round their windows
to be unseen
dimming lights
pausing music
click on mute
strain their ears
hush each other
walkers slow to speeds unheard of
listen closely
tone included
volume noted
who did what
concoct a story
assign guilt
