Tinnitus
Singing in my ear
That’s how she
Describes the sound.
And all one has to do
Is imagine some outdated
Disco Ditty, to know
A part of what she feels.
Perhaps, if she could but adjust
The channel, maybe now and then
Enjoy a little Duke or Miles
Or Mississippi Delta Blues
She might not mind.
But one gets the feeling
That she’s been stuck
Upon that song too long.
And one day she just might
Up and smash that damnable
Cauliflowered-Receiver.
