The Number of Hairs

Good to listen to others:
let’s face it, they want
to be heard—why they speak--
even if we have all the answers
imagined
since questions and answers
are more numerous than
the hairs on our heads combined
lessened by the reason for time
our ignorance to not hear
and only be heard….
