Cicadas of Rock

 

CICADAS OF ROCK

It was the likes of Daltrey, Holder, Coverdale, Dickinson, Gillan, Ozzy and Lemmy who introduced them to me, and once we met, we were never to part.

A mobile orchestra tirelessly working day and night.

From the moment I wake until sleep consumes me.

Countless critters chirping their tuneless little ditty.

A non-musical score that has become the backing track of my life.

They say silence is golden, but I wouldn't know.

Though I once thought the Simon & Garfunkel classic was written just for me.

For the tinnitus sufferers.
