A milestone of life Was marked last week: I wasn't hit I aged one week So, nothing really, So to speak. But In my right ear Came a humming, Caused by nothing (and this sounds funny) Yet, the sound is something Ringing in my ear. (but really, more like a humming) I find solace, When alone and thinking, The sound I hear, Louder than blinking (which isn't funny) Assures me that My motor's running.
