hmmm, this poem had to be edited slightly for language content, nor have i ever seen anything of this nature on this site, so here it goes Went to the doc to get checked he told me my ears was wrecked "why?" he didn't know but i was near deaf and in the next breath recommended a hearing aid to me how'd this come to be? started racking my memory thinking pondering perusing and musing yet nothing came to me and this was permanent like a project tenant never to hear again properly -maybe i'll hit Jackson Square, buy me some gris gris hopped in my ride, radio on that's when things started to form new ideas began to dawn and i realized what was wrong like a concussion blow i musta heard one of ya'll whacked flows on the radio "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose..." -janis joplin |

HuH! Turn it down before it's too late. My hearing "decrease" came from years of being too close to diesel engines without earplugs. Melton |

To me, this seems like the speaker feels that something is different, and seeks advice (diagnosis), the doctor says he is deaf and suggests the hearing aid, which is representative of getting the speaker to hear what the doctor wants him to hear- the speaker then wonders how this change came about and wonders if he can go back, and realizes that he has been influenced by 'whacked flows' that are giving him new inspiration. Personally, I absolutely love this. It's been a long time since I've seen someone get this good of a flow into a poem- this has a feel of reality, and the words actually seem alive and vibrant. Brilliant writing. everything's fine. |
