on a scale of one to deaf – 4/5/14

4/5/14 9:07pm – 4/18/14 5:38pm

on a scale of one to deaf
(*another truth)

on a scale of one to deaf
she’s not hearing me at all
when she could be picking up
she’s appearing to take calls

when she could be reading what’s
clearly written on the walls
she’s pretending to hear what
on her deaf ears i’ve let fall

these are going over her head
but not because she isn’t tall
when she could be getting it
she’s not getting it at all

*for another truth:
replace “she” with “he”
