Auditory

Below, the words you never,
ever, ever want to hear.

“I don’t love you anymore.”
“You need a root canal.”
“Mom? Dad? I’m in jail.”
“A spot on the x-ray.”
“This may hurt a little.”
“My period is really late.”
“We’re looking at cutting costs.”
“There’s been a major accident.”
“Your poetry isn’t for us.”

Cover your ears? OK, but
we hear what we fear.
