Earphones

Earphones block out the world.
The television blares on,
The woman talks about her woes,
The man arrives and orders his food...
With my eyes I hear all;
With my legs I feel the bed I am on.
Yet, the earphones make it all unreal.
With each day they make me short of hearing
and take me closer to the other world.
