Thumps of footsteps on the floor
(Knocking inside the mind)
Honks of jeepneys stuck in traffic
(Knocking inside the mind)
Warning buzz of departing train
(Knocking inside the mind)
Murmurs of seatmate to the left
(Knocking inside the mind)
Music from seatmate's phone to the right
(Knocking inside the mind)
Beeping signal of arriving train
(Knocking inside the mind)
Screech of rubber tires on gravel
(Knocking inside the mind)
Ring of bell for next class
(Knocking inside the mind)
Chants of professor

Knocking inside the mind

Answering its knocking finally by
Scrawling pen on the paper
Sighing of the brain
Realizing what it is

Write.
