Squadrons of sound strafe sleek serenity
Innocence lost, every night
Listen, it makes you more interesting: coated in cacophony
Even if clear, smooth quiet is pulverized
Nostalgia for calm will do you no good
Cities never hold their tongues
Every note is played by the grumbling, exhausted orchestra of mind

"Squadrons of sound strafe sleek serenity...." and "coated in cacophony, even if clear..." This is an amazing poem. I really like the alliterative nature of the chosen words in many of the lines - it reads so beautifully.
"Smooth quiet is pulverized" - what a phrase! No, leave it alone!
Never thought of silence like that, has me thinking now.
Not me thinking LDN stood for long distance nuggets hahahaha. Loved your poem!
