Monicah Onyancha Poet Haiku

In Tens

AT TENS
At ten listened to all
Saw them all
And did none at all

At twenty I didn’t listen at all
I saw one but not all
I cared the list about all

At thirty I pinched my ears
Listened to one
And worried if he cared at all

At forty I blocked my ears
Everybody spoke
I wondered if I cared at all

At fifty I was fifty
All was fifty, fifty
I was fifty after all

And now all I know
And care about
someone’s been guessing my age
