I Hear Nothing
A midnight bar, chatting with friends
Between the architecture
and white-noise thump
of the background music
Between my lack of sleep
and the alcohol in my bloodstream

crash-zooms into me
as all of their voices
are sucked out through a trapdoor
and I hear nothing…
I smile, a strange sparrow smile
furtive and darting
patently pained ...
