Poetry: I hear you

BROADCASTING BLUES

We're living with a sonic boom;
He's speaking from the other room.
With every phrase that he propels,
He cannot tell we block his yells.

We need no telegraphs or phones,
For he is heard in three time zones.
Our ears might heal again, I swear,
If he would just come up for air.

The folks across the street complain;
They cannot stand the sound profane.
"We hear you, buddy, loud and clear.
Turn down the volume, racketeer."

As he continues with his pitch,
We scramble for the power switch.
His battery may not wind down;
Perhaps we'll have to leave this town.

    I turned around;

    I Hear You

    I hear you in the summer breeze:
    The whispering voice that's in the trees

    I hear your voice inside the tide:

    I hear you,
    but it is just a memory.
    I look at you,
    but you do not look back.
    I touch you,
    but you do not respond.
    I long for you,
    but
