Nor Would the World Be Kind Without Them

Humans would madden you less
If you weren’t human yourself.
It’s your own humanity
Supplies you the madness,
Makes you imagine humans
Both worse and more important
Than humans are to the world.

Some days you feel everything
Wrong with your life is human.
Some days fellow humans save,
Mostly from fellow humans.
But it’s you. You deceive you.
You surge with evolved response.
Humans aren’t running the world.
