silencio
When I’m not tapped into a music stream.
I like quiet
no - let’s be exact,
I like silence
ear plugs in - deafening quiet
or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound
That’s relatively new technology
My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things
gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes
like the patterns sound forms in sand.
But if you’re going to

that's the sell
(a series of micro vignettes)
Chella and I are reading our analysis assignments together because that’s how we link and build.
We read out loud too, because how else can you judge the flow?
When my phone, lying on the table, jiggled. The caller ID read, “Tommy’s girlfriend.”
Chella gave me a little look. “I never change anyone’s ID,”

Wait I'll take my headphones off
Please go ahead and talk talk
Anyway these people will stalk stalk
I don't want to walk walk
around or somewhere else, even though if I just need to rotate at my moms house
But don't scratch my face with the chalk chalk
Wait, will I notice?
Can I ecounter you? Because I always balk balk
It's okay

About Headphones and Melody
Once there was a song,
That reminded me of you,
While I felt so strong,
Under sky,
Of midnight blue.
Once there was a time,
While I played a favorite tune,
A pen and written lines,
Cried,
A thought of you.
...

Headphones
My heart is a pair of tangled headphones
The music still plays but the melody is twisted
All I do is try to unravel the notes
And understand the lyrics
But I can’t because someone has tangled my headphones
Before it was just a matter of pressing play
But now it’s so much more complicated
See you’ve taken the melodies and

Lonely Headphones
Sleep provides me with peace as i carry myself away musically.
Inisde a bubble where a city never sleeps.
As if a coma were to live in every wrinkle of an earthquake.
I have no friends nor love ones today....
For if i did i would never feel this way.
But why should i complain or pretend someone will hear

Headphones
Look at me with my headphones on
trying to drown out the sounds that
affect my zone.
Turn them down and I have found
what upsets my dome,
A bunch of bombs, bullies, and
bullets that infect my home.
So I blast and blare bass to protect
my bones
Otherwise my eyes are raped by a
place unknown...
I tend to

Through Headphones
everything sounds better
through headphones---
every succulent morsel of music
drips from the wires lodged in the ears or
packed tight against the head,
sometimes completely encapsulating our ears,
hell, boxing our whole heads into
our own personal listening studio
everywhere we go, at most times of the day---
one imagines that Nietzsche, who died 10 years too early
to experience the wonder

Headphones
You make me seem like a girl
With all the twists and curls
I wear it
Seem deaf
I do not care
I do not fear
Its with me
That’s all I care
Provides melody
A vision for life
A moment of peace
An instance of joy
Different from the rest
Lost in the thoughts
Yet we stay
Much in the present
It’s whispers into our ears
Yet we are aware

Lost My Damn Headphones
Ears being tortured
by the feeble music
on the jukebox,
mind sporadic,
losing my train of thought
to Madonna.
Ideas mottled
by conversations
like something gnawing on wood
in my ears.
My horrors
are hidden from me
by the likes of Beyonce’
blaring throughout the place,
