I sit and listen patiently
No one knows that my ears stir.
They graze the chatting graciously
every edge and every burr.
I hear of friends both new and lost
I hear of what they left behind.
I hear of games, both come and gone
I hear of glasses they just couldn’t find.
I hear of a breakup, tried and true,
I hear of sadness and grief.
I hear of excitement, not sad or blue,
I hear of joyous disbelief.
I sometimes feel like I know more
about someone then their closest friends.
This isn’t true in all cases,
but for some… Well, it depends.
