loud silence

by derek garner - Virgo

inner voices argue with me 
my headphones should block them all out
these deafening decible demons
must repent or suffer
dehuminizing  debatchery
it's my sanity whose at stake

men and women  
converse with me daily
my headphones should block them all out
trite discussions on politics, sex,
love and hate, 
who won the game last night, etc.....
give me a rifle and a highrise window
its my sanity whose at stake

why won't they retreat from me
like she did suddenly
leaving me all alone
she bought me these damn headphones
after i caught her with him
i was forgiving, she wasn't appologizing
its my sanity whose at stake

the world is my inlaw,
that bully in third grade
relentless
my headphones should block them all out
just as soon as i buy me
a walkman
its my sanity  whose at stake
