Chimes and Paranoia
My washing machine finished its cycle,
like my drier and dishwasher,
telling me so with a cheerful jingle
to brighten my day and alert me to
the need to remove the dry clothing,
the clean clothing,
or empty the dishes.
They all seem so happy.
My cell phone has so many chimes
and sounds, rings and tones
for calls, and messages I can no longer
keep them straight. Its starting to worry me.
The alarm in the morning is up beat,
like my doorbell. I think they may be friends.
My microwave beeps when finished its
time cycle, like my treadmill and step
machines. They seem to know each other.
Are they talking about me?
It’s like hearing voices in my head
from all sources
in all directions
at all times.
Now my fridge calls me with a
delicate chime to close the door if I leave
it open for too long.
Conspiracy?
