Hammer, Anvil, & Stirrup

When you are born without something 

That you should otherwise normally have 

Then you are.... special. 


The world is full of these people, like us. 

We don’t talk about it, unless asked. 

We live out days full with perception. 

Our brains active with compensation. 


Out in front of every conversation 

A sight that could not be seen

A sound not fully heard 

And a brain busy with the tasks of 

Seeing and hearing without eye or ear. 


Would you be able to spot someone like this?

Such a depraved person,

Who’d never had complete sight,

Nor hammer, anvil, or stirrup. 


So sharp would be the measure of all taken in,

With the one set had left, 

they’d best us all.
