Bus stop bustle

Bus stop bustle

I don't hear their talk
I hear the sound when their tongues touch their teeth
And gasp of their throat when they breath
I don't hear them walk
I hear the click and scrape of their heels
And the rubber treading on floor making a squeal 

I don't hear words I hear sound 
I don't hear walks I hear the sound in between when feet touch the ground
