Where Should We Rest?

Wherever you leave us.
Whatever’s left of us.
What would you guess odds are

Human language, symbols
For human languages,
Words like us will be left

After the species is
(A) extinct and without
A successor species,

(B) extinct, having led
To descendants who don’t
Depend on languages?

Will other forms of minds
Pick up where you left off,
Save, savor, curate us?

And which of us? The ones
With the most copies, most
Durable forms? Just luck?
