Bob Lucky
A Question of Change
Do you hear the words or
feel the rhythm that smacks
like a hammer
against the door, knocking
until the verbs splinter
and nouns crumble,
or is it all white noise,
static, a sound that grows
on you until
you take it for silence,
never suspecting that
deafness can be
just what you want to hear?
