My Personal World, Part 8: My Thinking-Sound


I'm on edge, distracted, and dinking around.
It's time to put on my thinking-sound,
My hi-fi, one-size-fits-all solution
To the rest of the world's worst sorts of noise pollution:
Traffic, sirens, construction, the marital strife,
The worst sorts of reminders of urbanized life,
and the in-laws and bosses, who tend to insist.
Music builds me a world where those things don't exist,
But as I get older, my needs become loud –
Sonic fences built high keep the unwelcome out.
