poem of the day 05.25.12


humanity

sometimes
i want to love
humanity
get to know them
love thy neighbor
as thyself
but on the buses
the streets
in the stores
the bars
and cafes
we seem to fail
each other
with every breath
humanity
you are alien to me
as strange
but not as
wondrous
as a big-eyed
big-headed
sci-fi fabrication
and i am shallow enough
to know
that i cannot love
you
that which
is foreign to me
that which
i do not
could not
understand
given only this
lifetime
dedicated to research
and finding out
the cold truth.
