FIVE 17-SYLLABLED
NOT-AT-ALL-HUMAN
POEMS
1
Your
face distorted in anger
proves
there is life
on other planets.
2
When, with heavy hand,
you hurt a child,
pet dogs and cats
are saddened.
3
To speak of love
without sincerity
disaffirms being human.
4
More than in night dreams,
life’s terrors challenge us
to act more than human.
5
We must assume blame
for similes linking us
to the inhuman.

These are amazing, Sal. I love nos. 1 and 4.
