Humans are so adaptable and humans
have the capability of speech
that declares as much.
But all species are adaptable
and have some form of speech.
What singles out humans is the need to state,
through their vaulted powers of speech,
the undeniable superiority to all other species.
This is what psychologists call
"an indelible sign of an inferiority complex."
Ask any commuter at rush hour who is moving
less than one mile an hour but looks up
to a sky full of birds flying free-form
with no bottlenecked
lanes of flight.
Ask that bottlenecked commuter
which is the superior species.
The commuter would say
"But has any bird ever created a printing press
or a computer?"
The answer is no bird has ever had
a need to invent such things.

Get yourself into a hellish environment
and conclude soundly:
This is no time
to act like
an angel.

We were ninety miles out of Memphis
and there was a hotel.
We got a room and did what was to be done
in a hotel room.
The next morning,
driving with freeway cruise control,
Memphis was more three hours away.
The ninety miles was correct
but there was a single digit
in the hundreds column.
