dVerse Poets – MTB – Meet The Bar With Dissonance
“Dissonance is the truth about harmony.” Theodor Adorno
But I sit to sip, the brew is kind but the battle hardened walls ricochet shrill, gaudy, laughter unsettling my mood, my ears assaulted by the grinder's piercing turbine making speech redundant, along with scraping chairs, clanking cups, call that a ringtone, and keep your polite frivol of exchange, I rise to go for sanity.

I agree with you. Sometimes to remain sane, or keep what little sanity I have left, I find myself on the run.

Yes, solitude can be difficult, but also, it can be hard to find in the noise of the world.

I find noise to be more intrusive and difficult to deal with as I grow older……even with
diminished hearing (lol!).

The irony, someone trained did tell me as we age the ear picks up all the stuff we sued to filter out, damnable really 🙂

I was thinking about a poem that relies on all the auto-correct, typos and mistakes everyone makes (self included of course), could be fun 🙂

I sit to sip would wreak havoc with the auto-correct. (I turned it off on all my “screens”, since I write in three languages. Auto-correct drives me crazy. Nor do i like a machine to put words in my mouth… 😉
(Soon the machine will tell which words are PC or not…)
Have a nice Sunday. Though that must be a hard day’s work for you. (I imagine you’re Church of England?) (How’s that work Down UNder? Church of Oz? That would be nice…)
Cheers my friend
