Marcia Funebre/4 Walls

I wonder if they hear me screaming. 

If the sound of high Cs will still register at 440 hz-

Even if the timbre is abnormal.

 

I wonder if they see me bent over them.

Eyes squinting trying to predict how they move- 

I wish walls knew how to turn inside out. 

So that I can hear the music.
