The sudden drilling in an adjacent flat, the constant hum of the construction noise,
If mindfulness is a panacea, attending to them should help me maintain my poise.
The question looms large should I attend to the din, live in the here and now?
Be present and curious about my neighborhood sounds, be mindful, holy cow!
It's good to be mindful and present, when birds are chirping nearby,
When you're drenched in the silence of nature, and time doesn't seem to fly.
But you're sometimes stuck in a cacophony, that's not entirely your fault,
Do you need to soundproof your room then, and go deep down in your vault?
The procession will in time pass away, the sound will eventually stop,
Do I need to attend and wallow in now, or brush them aside with a mop?
Either do not let me notice them, or if noticing let me clean,
How can I keep wallowing in them, thoughts that are ugly and mean?
Should I attend to my environment or my body, I'm totally confused,
There's little hope for me to be mindful, as long as with my thoughts I am fused.
