Lines stretched from end to end
Tied affinities since time began
We are a queer bunch, after all
One and the same

Through our own making, we disentangled
The threads bringing us together
Circumstances walled us from our humanness
Hardening our fears of embracing
The otherness of others,
The otherness in others
When truly stripped from
All these trivialities and caprices,
We go back to the same cloth
