“Dear cat, your ears are flipped inside out, so I know you’re not listening to a word I’m not saying.”

“I like how cats’ ears can flip inside out. It’s as if they’re saying, Keep talking, human, but I’m not even listening.”

“Maybe I could hear better if my ears weren’t flipped inside out. Unlike a cat’s ears, you can’t tell mine are flipped over. But they must be, because I only seem to listen to myself.
”

“After I speak, my words merge with the wind, and if you’re listening, your ears act like sails and carry the conversation.”

“Does my face not look hungry? My mouth is the path and mouthpiece to my stomach, so I’d believe what I’m telling you if I were inside your ears.”

“Don’t breathe on my voice, I yelled through my ears. But who’s there to listen, when you’re all alone and wearing earplugs. It’s true what they say, even if they say it silently—love is Helen Kelleresque.”

“Science doesn’t listen. Science has mice growing out of its ears. Wait, I mean human ears growing out of its mice.”
