can you hear me now?

it was a mistake

pouring

that over the counter goo into

my ears

to loosen up

and remove six decades

of sweet potato ear wax.

now i can't hear

anything.

i'm underwater,

i'm in outer space,

i'm not quite Helen Keller,

but you get the picture.

it's kind of nice

though, not hearing 

what your saying.

what?
