If Only Imagination Had Eyelids

Turning off imagination
Turning off indignation
Turning off emotion
Is like turning off ears

Except that there's no advice
Industry out there making bank
From selling instructions
To think or pray or meditate
Your way to not hearing

People sensibly
Humbly buy earplugs
And noise reduction headphones
Or go for long walks in the woods
Or bury their heads in pillows

They do not contemplate deafness
They do not ask God to shut their ears
Or if they do they don't
Aspire to complete hearing control
