Cries of suffering once distant are now— Now what? Proximity should make no difference And yet When an animal suffers by existing it is the natural order of humans. I at times wonder, what should we call the mess we’ve made? Labels feign importance A category is a hierarchy A tyrant is nothing without Fear and prey Prey, fear, repeat.

Waiting for hate to show its teeth
Fingertips holding The cigarettes we used to share A time when whiskey dwelled on your breath you’d turn ***** eyed, tender, And say Are you ready to go home?
