Noise

The world fills
my mind with
noise.

I'll keep the TV
off.

Bury my face
in a book.

Feed my ears
with a controlled
stream of sounds.

Keep the room at
a controlled
temperature.

And the smells.
Not so much
noise coming
into that sense.

Yes, that should do.
That should detoxify
my mind for a while.

I guess it's what passes
for a New Year's Resolution.
