nature
mankind as mankind
shakes fists in faces
daddy told me once that
his daddy told him once that
every man has every right to
swing his arms around
as much as he likes
but that his right ends
six inches from another man's
face.
mankindasmankind
don't understand that
mankindasmankind
mashes faces with knuckles,
spits in eyes,
kicks up sand &
grinds teeth to bloody gums
mankindasmankind
yearns for noise & more noise
screams & howls
rev rev rev
them engines, boys
& listening to mankindasmankind,
a lady told me once,
"there's nothing for the mind here"
"but neither," says me,
"is there anything
for mankind."
