The louder you are
the less I hear
as you drown out your own words
with a roar
and all I see
is the blur of your acts
sinking your message
in the deep.
Perhaps I am more
persuaded by facts
after all, but don't
mistake inaction for sleep,
I am getting on in years
and I fear I save my time
and words in
making sure I am correctly heard,
the better to be understood--
are we good?
