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
