What I Hear
Everyday I walk from my home on long island to the long island rail road station. Living on long island is very different from living in the city. There is a lot less traffic ( cars and trains) and a lot more trees that hold birds. I hear them through my window all through the morning. However, trains are not completely escapable. I have the long island rail road go straight through my back yard outside my bedroom window. It is a lot bulkier than the subway and honks (for some reason), but it passes quickly. As I walk those are really the only sounds in my neighborhood besides my own footsteps. As I get closer to the main road, the more cars I hear. Eventually, the last thing is the ringing of the siren, alarming the cars on the road that the train is coming.
