How long can a man goOut of sync with his species?
What has value for othersIs worthless to meAnd what has meaning for meFalls on deaf ears
Even the strongest connections are becoming frayedI don’t recognize my heart
Maybe the problem supersedes speciesMaybe I need to see beyond the kingdom of animals If I could be a tree That’s grown out of the dirt from a nut
I’d have stability
Roots
And the ability to open myself to the warmth of the sun.
