Even ringing, buzzing, & roaring expletives in the
ears and head doesn’t defeat this feeling - we’ve
succeeded - tinnitus didn’t progress the stripping
out of our old sink bench - that was my Lady and
I, so while relative silence has pride of place until
th’ next phase, my affected hearing repossesses
what it conceives gainsay-meaningfulness and a
pay-back for lost sensitivity in its auditory control
So its echoes ring loud and clear; it’ll be a day or
two before they wither to background murmuring
and yes - wearing of hearing protection would’ve
abetted th’ dilemma of close-quarter circular saw
& hammering effects; altho I glory yet in what we
achieved on this blissfully progressive morning
