The left ear is ringing again.
It's not like sleigh bells, the doorbell,
nor a heavy tolling church bell.
It is more like constant high-
pitched feedback, a guitar amp
cranked up and gone wrong.
When I set my beer on the table
by the stage, next to the stacked speakers
at hundreds of shows, over dozens
of years, I failed to consider
this consequence. If you were put off
by my inattention today,
I apologize.
It's not you, only last year's rock-n-roll
in my head.
