Her name wasn’t Annie – v2

Her name wasn’t Annie,
and I am certainly not Helen,
but she reopened a world,
that was silent, dormant…
 
She reawakened a part of me
that had gone missing,
I can hear myself typing
these keys as I write…
 
I cannot adequately describe,
the wonder of unwrapping a mint,
the sound of cellophane
turned in my hands…
 
Turning down the volume,
of my phone, my computer,
hearing the brushing
of the hairs on my head…

Comparing my new audiologist,
Dr. Megan Lamprey, AuD, CCC-A,
who repaired my hearing aids,
to the moment when Annie Sullivan
helped Helen Keller to communicate…
