I love the sound of electric charges surging through power lines

The sound of sleek pavements hissing after the rain as cars pass by

The crunch of dried leaves as you walk in autumn

The rolling thud of skateboard wheels against the sidewalk

The static undertones when playing old records

The sound of guitar speakers when you plug it on

The clinking of wine glasses when the waiter cleans your table

Even the click of every key on my Blackberry cell phone.

I love the sizzling sound that the frying pan makes for breakfast

(Even more so the smell it makes in the morning)

The crisp sound of rustling leaves as the wind tickles them

The BART howling through the tunnel when it’s coming

The little door chime when you enter the local coffee shop

The waves crashing through the shore line

The flap of BAYAN flags when the wind between buildings catches them

The clicks that my Canon 50D shutter makes

And remember the sound of Kodak film when it starts rewinding? Hah!

I love the sound of keys when I grab them from my purse

The scratch of newly sharpened pencil on test papers

The deep bass line in the club that you can even feel in your bones

The sound of Lincecum’s pitch hitting Molina’s glove (when he was still a Giant not a Ranger)

The icy crush of your spoon against  your freshly made halo halo

The satisfying pop when you finally open that jar of pickles

The slobbery slurp that Jasper (a dog) makes when he’s really thirsty

Even the silence after the banter on the dinner table.

Especially the silence, after any banter even if it’s not on the dinner table.

 This is what our dinner table looked like in 2006.
