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
