Electronic Faerie Trickster [Today's News Poem, August 17, 2010]
Faerie wave-particles
Offer brain-pleasuring;
Blending all articles
Into new leisuring.
Humans can't masturbate
Quite like fey orgasms;
Barter that out-of-date
Skin for bliss-spasms.
Deafened, who's listening?
Humans rot. Corpulent.
Useless. Sweat glistening.
Infantile. Petulant.
“The proportion of teens in the United States with slight hearing loss has increased 30% in the last 15 years, and the number with mild or worse hearing loss has increased 77%, researchers said Tuesday... "Personal stereos are the most important change in the culture in the last 15 to 20 years," said Dr. Tommie Robinson Jr., president of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Assn. "Everybody has their own little device now, and how many times have you passed somebody and could hear their music?"”
