The Dance

Shapes, sizes,

Bald-heads, bandanas,

Amazing, wonderful.

Healthy and ill

Mingling alike

Fluid, flowing.

Living, dying

Nestled in absurdity.

Friends afar yet near

Kindred hearts

Watch TV

Surrounded by cruelty.

Silent screams

Criss cross the globe.

Older, wiser, weaker

Yet no smarter are we.

Parts missing, destroyed,

Living in the moments that we get.

Cancerous, healthy,

Dwell in proximity,

One consuming without conscience,

The other harmonious with life.

Huddled hordes survive.

Ecosystems thrive.

Evolution choosing.
