Human Nature

Love...sweet beautiful love,
love just one tiny iota,
it is infinitely more than enough,
Love,
is all you need to know about infinity and everything forever,
from the ages to the unforeseen future.
Stupidly blindly and organically we do this sweet symbiosis,
and you never need be concerned about anything.
Hookworms crawl in from the outside,
corrupting your dreams,
I want one of you in a shiny glass jar,
so I can pull you out and play with you from time to time.
When I begin to talk of you and me,
and then them and us,
don't think for a moment, I won't do to you what I did to them,
pretend that they are somehow separated,
and want to tear them apart while they're screaming.
Oh, I would never do this to you....really.
Not right now anyhow.
I'll probably wait.

Author notes

Many of us are afraid of animals, we crush spiders and snakes never knowing if they're benevolent or benign...but other people...we're guided unfortunately by compulsions out of all of our control. Often the poisonous ones are the most beautiful.

    You made me giggle.



    Do not let the beautiful spider mesmerize you. Stay focused!
