Barks of a dog, probably Pooky, four houses down.
Roaring hum of an air conditioner, electrical beep announcing the cycling down of its motor.
Conversation in Portuguese, Brazilian couple two flights up.
Varying roar of a car changing speeds, fast then slow then fast again, fooled by a fire hydrant in the search for a spot to park.
Tumoltuous distant whir of the subway stopping at Broadway, heading off to its final stop.
Lightest rustle of leaves in a restless wind.
I hate/love it here sometimes.
