Sense Switch

1 minute · no answers

Your sense switches —
how many are on?

We were all born with every sense switched on.
As we grew up, we kept only what our busy days needed
and quietly switched the rest off, one by one —
what becomes familiar slowly stops being noticed.

As children, we learned at school that there are five senses.
But our bodies live each day with many more than that.
Balance, body position, hunger, temperature, time — today we’ll bring these out, too.

This isn’t a test with right answers. It’s one minute to find a switch that’s been off for a while.
