Poem: Hole in the Ear

I’ve got a hole in my ear
Its not the regular one; its further in

Where maybe something should be
But no-one remembers enough to mention it.

Its got an eye of its own
And a shutter, closed.

My doctor made it a woolen jacket
Which sounds like hearing damage.

A broken ear is worse than a holey ear
Which can’t be bad (if you know your Bible).

Holes can let light in; or souls out
But they don’t think, so they’re safe enough.

Holes are the reason why no-one can
Find the mind; it slipped out, at some point.

Or so I heard.
