ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting...

I’ve been haunting this old gothic
since nineteen eighty,
when I died from a brain tumor
at the age of sixty-three.

Niagara Falls, Canada
We are rudely awakened
by an intermittent buzzing

There was nothing on TV

I have two hundred channels

This is all from my heart
It's all apart of my conciseness
And there's no perversions
