A true story. . . while watching Godzilla.


To Clean a Chicken's Tongue?



I used to hear well
til Tinnitus, a bell
sound and hissing
made words sound
different, as missing
meaning like ground
mistaken for mound
or was it round
or bound
or found;

the ad was for a tool
of sorts, I wasn't looking
just heard about it on tv
but made no sense to me
sure felt like someone's fool
but swore it was so clear
much more when I was young
played back,
moved close to hear
A CLEANER FOR THE CHEEK AND TONGUE,
alas, was not, I fear,
A CHICKEN TONGUE CLEANER
as I thought I heard.
