CATHY + HEATHCLIFF = TINNITUS

Learning to type on a typewriter is joining the army of loud

My first hospital job sounded like hammers

Do you write big or small I do both

Write down or write up

Do you read over shoulders

Long ago he gave up most paper for screens

For the I’m doing anything thing

Most people I see writing in journals are on the first page

When I sit behind you I want to rip off your big ears

and replace them with my own

Yours wobble to and fro yours seem so healthy and alive

Two children eating bell peppers

hearing the toaster chime which I can no longer

Do you know why I am not crying all the time

I am not new to despair

Tinnitus is my friend

piano with a stuck key

and I want your job
