have you wondered what an ant would hear
as we walk along the street?
have you wondered what a fly would hear
as the butcher chops the meat?
have you ever thought of
the lizard's hearing
as we go bowling
did you ever think
of what a cockroach thinks
before the blow of death strikes down
crushed bug, limping spider
swatted mosquito, tail-less lizard
small, tiny, minute, unseen
yet they have a part to play
in thhis giant drama that we call
life.
