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

Recently, The doctor looked in my ear, my left ear and exclaimed, " it looks like there's a hole in your eardrum!" So later that day I Googled it and it's nice to know that holes in your eardrums can repair themselves. Just getting older is very interesting. As are the times we're living in. I'm locked out of Facebook so now I'm talking to myself on my poetry blog. It seems the more my outer World contracts; the more my inner World expands. When I'm not feeling anxious, I'm usually laughing at the irony of it all.
