So turning off the hearing aids enables as close a
state to peace as believing it possible; however to
be safe there’s need to realistically compare what
isn’t there with the relativity of what was: the hum
of electrical appliances is one such, or that shriek
of a mosquito approaching an ear, or manic buzz
of a fly bouncing off the egress-denying window -
it is a test of wit with dire consequences impeding
When a misinterpreted bit is actually her majesty’s
warning you’d better listen properly; it is an I’ll only
say this the once proposition where ‘no worries’ or
okay fails assessment of accepted attention levels
& the hammer descends with amazing alacrity - to
hear or not to hear bears false witness too easily
Thus the idea peace is a place of quietude seems
a compromised sage view as only you’d believe
