: this

we are animals

hormonal and needy

confused and greedy

battling the elements while

shivering beneath lost layers, emerging and retracting then emerging again

- let us sweat

and sob

and hurt and play - abuse, misuse, ruin and repair

but always assume, infer, and deny!

take and take and take and then toss.

believe we can and will create

and then think until thought turns sour at the tap of a button - so

what if we lost it all overnight?

would we, we would wake up to a similar morning - the same sun, sweat and snow

where nothing and everything has changed.
