Somewhere

A man aches to kill
what he once loved.

And a woman deceives
the one she most trusted.

Funny how animals never
love their children to death

or bully for pleasure or
gossip or drink too much.

They’re too busy surviving
the night that leaves enslaved

park benches pondering
if their ancestors were trees.
