I am slipping into the silent world of deafness. It can be a blessing when one wants to go to sleep. However, the kindly AI of closed captioning is making me able to read with my still good eyesight almost everything that is said or required of me including criticism. I welcome criticism to either counter it, or accept it as a way of improving myself.

As you can see, your poem has given me a lot to think about and report here.
