Sensitive Ears––poem by Dorothy
Sensitive Ears
The elderly and the infirm––
they have to be careful
or the traffic will run over them.
Often they are the ones
who carry the secret
in their vest pockets
but the others
don't stop long enough
to listen.
There are books
that describe such matters
but these hurriers don't read.
Beautiful music is playing,
but they don't care to hear it.
They prefer the din of the avenue,
the roar of the market floors.
Those with sensitive ears
know what I am talking about.
The live in quiet dwellings.
Often they wear worn clothes
and walk with a shuffle.
Yet they are the ones
who have found the treasure.
