the Whistle Blows

THE WHISTLE BLOWS
A HIGH PITCHED NOISE
I STAND AT ATTENTION
TO A 4 P.M. COUNT

I AM PART OF THE NUMBER
THAT IS INVENTORIED EACH DAY
I AM A LONELY CREATURE
WHOSE VOICE IS SELDOM HEARD

MY EARS CONTINUE RINGING
FROM THE TIME SET HORN
I WONDER - IF IT WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR
WHEN MY RELEASE IS ANNOUNCED
