you don't want to hear
or remember,
the sound
of a car striking yours
in the middle of an intersection.
the dentist holding
up an x-ray as you sit
stranded in his chair.
the word no from
someone you've fallen in love
with.
the waiter saying,
sorry, but we're out of chocolate
cake.
the sound of your parents
making love
behind closed doors.
the knock on the door as
mormons appear.
there are certain times
when it's best to close your
eyes and stick
your fingers in your ears.
