Paper thin

I’ve begun to think

That the sounds I’ve been hearing

 

No

 

The sounds I’ve been feeling

 

No

 

This isn’t right

 

I cannot hear the sounds

I cannot feel the sounds

 

I cannot see-

 

I’ve been seeing the sounds

 

No

 

The walls

 

They are paper thin

 

The walls

 

The sounds

 

Wait

 

I’ve begun to realize

That the sounds I’ve been hearing,

 

No,

 

The paper-thin walls,

 

Have been hearing me.
