I Saw Seven Birds
I'm in a room full of cats and dogs, and they're all noisily cleaning themselves. The repetitive, wet sounds fill the room, and no matter how hard I try to drown out the sound by covering my ears, or singing, or trying to get them to stop, they do not. My head hurts from the sound, irrational, exhausting anger flares in me, I feel nauseous, and I want to hit the animals but feel guilty because I know they're not trying to drive me intentionally mad. I can't leave, and I want to scream.
