it’s not arrogant
to be aware
of what we absolutely
adore and completely
abhor
we reside in a universe
where fortune finds us — if one
human wholeheartedly
believes in who we are
“freaky flaws and all”
our life is made
as what transpires
is raw humility
do you know what it means,
what it really means – to believe
in another human being
with every fibrous tissue
in your solid shadow
aura?
it means the abolishment
of judgement and requires
significant empathy
as carbon life forms
that house spirits
in our constitution
an existential
portion of that elegance
distinguishes the strength
of unprocessed
vehemence
