Like a human

 Like a human 


love takes off our pants 

leaves on our masks 

settling on lands 

claimed by earlier peoples 


running our rackets 

offering blankets 

reading histories 

to learn about our evils 


as Sinatra plays 

we go on our way 

smirking at prayers and players 

in the chapel 


We call it a day 

robbed of our fates 

unsure if anything we did 

was ever helpful
