the noise in my head

is nothing but needless clutter.

does it bother you

to hear the white noise,

the never-ending sounds

slinking through your ears

making a home in your brain.

does it upset you to know

my brain's chemicals fire in a way

that would be appropriately suited

toward science fiction?

should i placate you with platitudes?

if my astute "imbalances"

send chills down your spine

maybe you're wrong
