in here
today. maybe my ears are
failing me.
i snap
my fingers
close to each opening.
no,
they're fine.
although one is a little
weaker
than the other.
i'm not used to this much
quiet
having been raised
in a house full
of six siblings
with the tv
always on,
a radio blaring upstairs,
dogs barking,
children
arguing,
a mother and father fighting,
cats meowing,
a gerbil
with his squeaky wheel
and
a rooster crowing
in the back
yard.
