Deaf

by Glenn Currier

My body speaks to me
but I hear it not
o'er the din of gluttony.

Author's Note: A poem that came to me thinking about the wages of compulsive overeating.

Audiological poetry, Glenn. Your precise presentation reads like an aphorism born of temptation. I too fall prey to this burly beast from time to time, especially during holidays. There's something about good home cooking that just seems to tune me out. Pe4ce...
