noise

inner ear at the cusp of new realizations,
the fluid in my head is basically brilliant
understanding all before I do and ever will
a wave of infinite hand-wringing compressed
to ominous ocean, gulls, and electronics.

Am I about to be left out?

balance of the brain at the moment of oh no,
panic in the bony labyrinth, reaching for release in the sinus
what is the tune of the thrum and thunk, the meaning of the music
percussive jaw off the beat of worry
