I'm getting annoyed
with my ears
'cos they don't hear
properly.
Background noise
destroys sound waves
and I have found
that it's irritating.
When people are stating
important stuff
and you only catch enough
to make partial sense
of the conversation.
The embarrassment is intense
when you repeatedly
request them
to repeat their words.
Add to this
my increasingly blurred
vision and I guess
I'm being told
by my body
that I'm old 😕
