something old

going through some old poems from college recently and came upon this little one, which i always liked.

Limitations

The greatest failing of evolution
is that human beings never developed
the ability to purr, express pure
contentment.

Instead, they use looks and sounds
ambiguous, or words forced out
to clutter up moments
like teacups left on tables.

If language is the one field
in which humanity excels,
this is proof we still
have much to learn.
