Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It’s the only thing I hear

“Deep End (Paul’s In Pieces),” The National

i walked
into the room
unaware
of the room
i walked into

i walked
into the room
where you were
singing
unaware

i walked
into the room
unaware
you were there
unaware

i walked
into the room
and fell in love
with you
singing

—P.L. Thomas
