A list poem

Ringing noise
people speaking in Arabic
Aya I still need a stapler
laughter
And I'm gonna go
by the way
distant voices, what language?
squeaky noises
Arabic spoken by a boy and a girl sitting together
cafeteria voices indistinguishable
whispers at Starbucks
moving stuff in a lab, cleaners
Hey miss
spasiba, dasvidanya
laughter
ma'alesh
what are you doing miss
laughter or giggles, what's the difference
hum of ac
I know, I know
My footsteps?
Footsteps, fast
Footsteps, slow
Footsteps, up
Footsteps, down
Squeaky sandals, dragging
Male voice
Door closing
Rustling noise, ominous
Female voices
Door opening
The whoosh of abayas, flapping
Knocking
Jangling keys
Bye
