No More

no more ringing in my ears always being Quasimodo screaming about the bells i set my house phone ring tone to play a MIDI Wagner Ride of the Valkyries and my cellphone wake up alarm tone is Bach's cello bourree which peacefully draws me from my sleep but the machines at work later take over so yelling becomes the norm for speaking so now i adorn headphones after work to muffle the rapid discharge of shots at the shooting range

Thank you so much Maureen. Comments coming from you always mean a lot since I admire your poetry so much. But nothing is ever "perfect" jajaja.
