The sound of reason and logic being coopted
The sound of you fix this, I’ll fix that
The sound of cunning pitting neighbor against neighbor
The sound of being on foot or bike without ear plugs and ear muffs, but the hands help
The sound of “Okay, cover your ears kids, the ball game can wait another half hour”
The sound of “Okay then, forget about waiting, PLAY BALL”
The sound of audio nerves eaten up by duck bites
The sound of concentration distracted from studies and exams
The sound of another D-minus in algebra and in science
The sound of lost business: “You said WHAT? Lemme CALL YOU later!”
The sound of listing your home, of dropping the price once more
The sound of hope faded away by no takers, of low-ball vultures waiting
The sound of the jet that just ingested a Canada goose approaching homes
The sound of the silence in the cockpit
The sound of sirens and flashing lights emerging from the black cloud and red inferno
The sound of horror, of weeping
The sound of the political face-saving: “For years I’ve said OLF must be moved to a 21st century venue!”
Epilog: Has anyone ever considered that the Navy could easily move the OLF to a 21st century location and that it just might be the best insurance money that NASWI and the County could spend to ensure the base actually stays in OH?
