chased, repoussed, cold connection, self portrait

(photographing shiny things is difficult)

I don't make jewelry. 

I don't wear much jewelry, 

but sometimes I just can't help but make something I need..

Personal Filters

I made me a set of personal filters.
Residing close to my ears,
they will listen and hear 

whatever comes off the radio,
out of speakers, out of mouths,
hearing everything within earshot
in all my surroundings.
They will hear it all.
Absorbing all,

 before any of it has a chance to reach MY ears.

They will filter out all bad, 

all lies, 

and all disturbing noise.
I suppose that's why they have already disturbed expressions.

Better on their faces than mine.

I've been wearing them now for a good half a day,
and I have to say, I think they work!
