The Size of My Ears

it appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the pouring out 
of my tears 
seems to grow 
in proportion 
to the size 
and hair of my ears

it appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the size 
and hair of my ears
seems to grow 
in proportion 
to the increases
in my fears

It also appears
with the passing 
of the years 
that the increase 
in my fears 
is proportional to the increases
in my tears  
the size and hair of
the ears
and in reverse proportion
to what I hear
