VERY TOUCHING

Ears tend to think they know it all

(but no they don’t)

Fingers can be enlightened listeners as well,

for they share

         the secret brotherhood

                     the ancestral wisdom

                                    the touching knowledge

Believe me:

Like white virgins, 
your ears would blush

if they knew 
just a tiny fraction of

your fingers’ 
                 accumulated 
                                    wisdom
