less than nothing (20210415)

the noise buzzing
the eternal hum
that is both in
and not in
my ears

has no
resemblance to music
no beat and no accentuated
pitch

if i concentrate
closing my eyes
a sine wave resolves itself
against my eyelids
but this is the invisible illusion
of sound

what is heard is not even
the pressure of disturbed air

      1. I recently got hearing aids, and they can be controlled by an app on my phone. I can set “Tinnitus sound” to create a white noise, and I use that 3 – 4 times a week.
