My
world's
growing
ever more
muffled. Sounds that once
informed me of household function;
reported comings and goings of others; warned of
spats, squabbles, and skirmishes between feline siblings; alerted me to pollsters and
packages now disappear daily. I can no longer distinguish between water running through pipes and the rhythm of rain on the roof.
