Whatever that humming is it stopped the garbage
trucks for a moment crushed their cargo in silence
underground the trains glided soundlessly revolving
doors deferred their revolving uptown a dentist
suspended all drilling when the guy at the worksite
made a circle with his hands when he brought
his hands together thumbs touching fingertips
touching when he held the empty circle out
to his friend when he directed the circle
toward him like a searchlight and said,
See if he has my round jelly donut
