early hours on the 6th floor

seagulls too loud

in the bright early morning hours

the sounds of bar fights

taken outside

broken up by friendly intruders

the ticking of traffic lights never stopping

even though no one is there

wind closing bedroom doors

the faint smell of weed in the stairway

wafting in

the steady breathing of sleepers

unaware

of the quiet love

surrounding them
