Better Check Again

What are the humans doing?
That’s the question humans ask,
Can never risk not asking.

What are the humans doing,
The other humans, strangers
And possible enemies

But also family, friends,
And old, familiar neighbors.
What are all of them doing,

Now, what are they wearing, what
Are they saying, where are they
Hiding or going, what things

Have they added you don’t have,
What things are they discarding,
What acts are they punishing,

What acts are they rewarding—
Humans can’t risk not watching
Humans, what are they doing?
