Background Noise(9/15/2020)
I hear it
more often
as I age
an ever
increasing
almost 60 Hz
hum
like God’s
refrigerator
those
with whom
I’ve discussed
this phenomenon
place the blame
upon my advancing
years
a decrepit
auditory system
I think
that the sound
is more attributed
to the retreating
me
as my own
broadcast diminishes
those emanations
of existence
are more perceptible
the eternal
grinding on
of the cosmos
comforting
really
knowing
that the vibration
will continue
long after
my fleeting
tonality
has faded
