Boom and Boom Go Out

Boom And Boom Go Out Not a person place or thing Not a sight or touch or odor More like a sound And a perception When Boom comes out Place two in a room together Turn off the lights In the dark they sound the same Booms sound alike If you hear a sizzle or movement Remove the fuses They don’t like the sun But with some coaxing and persuasion They will go out

Good morning Anne Lise, Thank you for commenting. The Booms are abstractions. I like to take things in life at their atomic or molecular level and dissect them and play with them. The Booms are just a couple of sounds that I'm playing with. I hope you enjoyed them. They are harmless but don't give them too much sun... Have a great day. Take care. Earl
