And suddenly everything
discovered it was alive.
And life had no tether.
Living things were not
bound to live in any
one way.
They could dance, love,
eat, sing, and even
oppress the shit
out of other living things.
It was brutal
—is brutal.
Living things
are trying—have always
been trying
to stop living things
from oppressing.
Can we stop ourselves now?
What does it take
for living things
to not oppress?
We must come to life
a new way.
