There's never REALLY silence

There’s never REALLY silence.
Always, there’s that buzz, hum, noise in your head.
I thought it was the air conditioning-
I turned it off-
the hum, noise, buzz was still there.
I turned it back on-
So I could pretend that the noise, buzz, hum
was in my ears
instead of my head.
