Sound Observation

As I sit and contemplate the sounds that surround me, the first thing I hear is the rotation of the ceiling fan above me. The metal cord that controls the speed of the fan clink clink clinks against the glass light creating a rhythm. I can feel the cold air being sliced through by the blades above which creates a low hum that is naturally soothing to the ears. I can feel myself getting sleepy. I notice a buzz stirring outside my window. The sound of crickets in unison as they take turns playing their songs. Some hold long, strenuous notes like an opera singer and some ribbet back and forth like a creaky old chair screeching along the wooden floors.
