Road Noise

Take your Divine Self
out for a spin.
Put the top down and
plug in your
“All You Need Is Love”
playlist.

If you listen
through headphones
and turn it up
a touch
you’ll be able to
drown out the
road noise.

You know,
the Voices and
the Noise.

The Puritan
road crew
butchering the
lyrics to
“Work for the
Night Is Coming”
while they put up
road signs
warning travellers
that they’re on
the Broad Way to
Perdition.

The intermittent
blare of
disaster sirens
being tested
in case of
spiritual emergencies
of an indeterminate
nature.

Road noise.
It’s just road noise.

Your Divine Self
has seen and heard
it all before.

You’re safe.
Crank up
the volume.
