Collision

What people say is
    A train wreck
Happening before my eyes
    Presenting on hearing loss
Going unheard
   Who are these people
Speaking words of such

     These words have no sound
No power to penetrate
   Through our loss of hearing
My Ipod tells me all
          That I should know
     At a loudness that it wants
