I hear
I can hear everything
I can hear nothing.
I hear them all at once.
I hear people talking
A fan whirring
A snack machine restocking
A man singing.
I try to sing but I fall mute,
There is only so much your brain can complain
Before it is no longer cute.
Footsteps, closer, and further away
The whole world is right outside the doorstep
And also a universe away.
An ambulance wails,
I wonder who is in pain,
If it can be fixed with a bandage
Then they must still be sane.
