There is an ocean
In my left ear
It swishes round
Like the heartbeat
In an ultrasound
I won't write the
Sound here
It is enough that
It is my constant
Companion
You do not want
It stuck in your
head like a song
You cannot forget
But wish you could
It is enough
That sometimes
It drives me crazy
And occasionally
Like now
I can love it
