To Hear 
by Kate Mildew 

1.
“You will say END”               “N”
“You will say BOAST”          “Boats”
“You will say EAST”             “Eat”
“You will say HOTDOG”      “Hotdog”
“You will say GLISTEN”       “Listen”
“You will say SHIVERS”      (shrugs)

The ear that hears. The ear that soaks. The ear a funnel. The ear a sieve. The ear that is pressed up against a glass that is pressed up against a door. The ear plugged.
