Grimbeau

Voices hear off. Who’s that?

Sotto voce, surely not…

Laryngitis? Going round.

Dan the Man,

very quiet, very soft.

Hard of hearing what?

Panic: King of Song breaks out!

Windows flung shut,

open air freshener

acrid Lavender.

Look out window, see blind woman,

shout hello, silly me

I can’t hear her, radio off,

mute mate shows up, funny looks.

Is it me or you? Tragic

You me: who we? Comic

Heads start to implode.

All I said: ‘Nice Day!’

watch blind woman talk away.
