The difference between monkeys and some humans is that some humans do not recognize their own kind. We think they are lacking an emotional connection, but I increasingly suspect it's cognitive. There's a link missing between the brain stem and the processor. As a result they behave like a predator that can speak. Their speech is deceptive. Silencing them would not make them less lethal.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars
