Sensitivity

220px-Cerebral_lobes[1]

I learned we have 5 senses, and some say
the 6th is what is known as common sense.
Another is location — it’s the way
our bodies reach, and some intelligence
of our address. And most of us detect
a stranger’s gaze upon us, or the eye
of someone reading from behind our necks,
or even what you’ll say before you try.

So I’ll admit there must be more than 5,
although I can’t affix a number yet.
But sure as I’m observant and alive,
I doubt we’re sensitive. I can’t forget
no matter what disdain I feel for you,
it’s obvious you never have a clue.
