A Moment of Silence Please
A MOMENT OF SILENCE PLEASE
mammoth misophonia
like monarch butterflies
he’s hard of hearing ~
resolved to turn sound up
nails on chalkboard
multiplicity of bongo drums
she hears everything
the clink clink of
spoon against bowl
the chomp chomp
of each major bite
piercing the night
this acute butterfly
must flee or fight
teeth ground down
tongue bleeding
she kisses her man
good night
