Concussion Road- Part Three

tunnel-vision is a thing…

i noticed my signal was

still blinking half a

block after i’d cleared

an intersection where

an accident had been

avoided, the ticking

sound alerted me, but

i had to look down from

the windshield to see

the flashing gold indi-

cater light;

auditory exclusion is

a thing, sometimes some

folks need to be tapped

on the shoulder, we get

so over-focused that

our hearing fails…

clearing the mechanism,

zoning out 50,000 baseball

fans whil attempting to

deliver a 95 mile an hour

fastball to the outside

corner of the plate, while…

some folks need everyone

to be quiet while they’re

putting or serving at tennis,

or merely reading, studying

a menu, etcetra…

canine, feline, or both…

-curiousity ko’d the cat,

because the feline’s

shrinking peripheral

range of vision begins

to deny efficient hearing,

the house cat becomes

so focused that it

cannot detect auditory

intrusions immediately,

like the human who

registers a sound in

our heads as were

busy, then say some-

thing like ‘was that

the doorbell?’, or

‘did you say something?’

+the canine-brained

human may have

pinpoint accuracy

at the junction

where each eye’s

sightline meet…

all canines are hierarchical…

the lowly lion is the only

feline that lives hierarchically,

it may suffer the canine brain…
