Birdsong Does Not Enchant Me

1:30, 3:15, and 4:47 every single night.
Overwhelming noise of invisible birds.
Relentless, repetitive, beyond the definition of noisy.
No melody.
No triumphant crescendos.
No accompaniment.
No relief.
Annoying as car alarms.
Not quite as annoying as fingernails screeched on a blackboard.
If there is beauty there I have never heard it.
If there is communication there I cannot identify it.
And like road kill it is unavoidable.
I'm sure the assault will occur again tomorrow morning and I will be forced to listen.
I will have no choice.
