cause there's quite a bit at stake!
more than ego as we write
or the shabby poems placed
in the cubbies all at night

it's the humans that we are
& the humans that we make
& the human that is made
& the way it's taking place

& the way we're taking part
& the way we call it art
& the way we call it great
& the way we fall apart

& the way I speak to you
& the way you speak to me
even when we disagree
so that building then can start

cause there's quite a bit at stake!
more than ego as we write
or the shabby poems placed
in the cubbies all at night
