Once upon a time we solved problems
or attempted to anyway
but we forgot to keep the history
to recall how we did it
back then.
Imagine tribes of people
cooperating
celebrating our achievements
the thought brings tears to my eyes.
No! That didn't, couldn't happen
it was history smoothing off
the barnacles of our flesh.
At least we have a house to live in
food on the table
and medicine
so today we are okay
let's watch TV, read books
listen to music, phone loved ones
make muffins
drink wine
... let's not
worry!
Do we want to be extinguished?
Do we want to behave as though
there is nothing we can do?
