Lullabies

In our neighborhood we have a slightly different version of lullabies…. Instead of a soft voice whispering into the quietness, it’s sirens from the numerous police cars roaming our drug infested location, with a solo by the random car alarm [which last night lasted 10 min! no kidding], and then some harmony of a helicopter circling above probably attempting to spot the runaway convict. And then, when you think you are finally relaxed enough to drift into the nothingness of sleep…some crazy Mexican speaking men start yelling at each other outside even though it’s 2 am and the rest of the world is sleeping! Yes, between the car alarms, the honking, the sirens…it’s crazy. Life changing I’m sure….after this year I will probably never be able to sleep in a quiet room again.
