poison-poison

how can we operate
when only half our limbs can be
how can we make it
when only the birds roam free.

i see poison.
nothing but poison.
poison swimming around.
poison-poison.

in the search for stable
i find i'm not even at stage 1
in the search for beginning
i see that you all have a gun

you are person
nothing but person
person swimming around.
person-person.

i see arson
nothing but arson
arson burning the ground
arson-arson.

i am human
nothing but human
i hope i don't drown.
human human
