humans

I saw some people
in a dream
A firelight dance
in time's stream

The look in their eyes
was stunning yet mundane
Demanding nothing
No holes of need or pain

They played and puttered
and it struck me most queer
to see not a trace
of ambition or fear

They laughed and cried
More laughs to see
They hugged and humped
quite thoughtlessly

This sharing extended
in every way
No one was treated as
possession or prey

Then i awoke to a
face that was yours
We call ourselves human
I'm not so sure
