[hometext] => I (for some inexplicable reason) thought of those who cannot hear. This is to them.
[bodytext] => Hush! Stop thy ears! Quite now.....let's slip inside, you and I into a silent world. A jar is dropped on concrete- we see glass splinter, sharding to and fro, (watch that foot- watch that toe!) glass can fly and cut, you see. But I, you- in this world where breakage is a distant thing, we can see, we can feel- but to hear? Sound does not sing- to them. In cruel reflection we imagine insomuch as we can the clanking grating sound- t'would be music, simply found- tympani to take a stand. How cruel! How vexing! What right have we to tear into the sorrow of a hundred tomorrows, not knowing laughter aught by eyes lit and smiles wide- no where to run...no safe harbor where all is well- the deaf know no such spell (read, relief), Such is the never ending- may it cease, this thing we call deafness- (prithee for them) but for me I call a living hell. Pray you can hear me- listen (not just read) these words I tell.
