I was awakened this morning by more ‘Hard Hearts’ in this city, screaming and protesting some perceived injustice or other complaint at around 3:30 a.m.

The yelling lasted past 4 at which time the police arrived and did whatever the nightshift does; which eventually led to silence.

I was up by then which triggered my own rigidity and pain that’s now at the mercy of this ungodly urban sprawl that I call home; so far away from my natured youth.
