As I walked around my
neighborhood (Flushing) at night, I realized the sounds of the wind against the
trees. The soft sound of the leaves moving from left to right, it reminded me
of the sound of the sea. I walked in s circle around my neighborhood and I came
across the park that in the morning is filled with children. But as I sat on
the benches of the park, I only heard the sound of the wind against the trees.
There was a particular sound that caught my attention; it was the sound of the
swings moved by the wind. There was a particular distinction between the two
swing sets. One was for the babies and the other for all ages. I heard the
sound for the babies swing and its hinges were louder than the other set of
swings. It was a sound of a rusty hinge moving against a nail. I know that
sound because I have a door at home that makes the same sound whenever I move
it.
I decided to move around the
park, as I came closer to a drinking water fountain, I heard a particular sound
of water moving against the water pipes. I decided to take a sip of water so I
leaned in and pushed a bottom, as I sipped the water, I closed my eyes and I
heard the water suction pump working to provide the water. When the water
flowed out I heard the similarity of a river flowing. As I kept walking towards
a further corner of the park, I saw an elderly couple walking towards my
direction. I heard two canes taping against the pavement and I heard the woman
say that the night was chilly; I couldn't hear the answer from the man because
a bus passed and stopped with a screeching sound. As I walked back to my
apartment, I heard a particular sound of crickets that only comes around when
the air is humid and nighttime.
