Dear Animal
One day you may look in the mirror and see an animal.
The human exceptionalism that has been ingrained in your bones and pumped through your blood
Will fade away
Leaving only
Bones and blood
You will look in the mirror and see an ape.
You will look in the mirror and recognize the flaws of living.
The wonders of surviving.
One day you may look in the mirror and see yourself truly for who you are
Which is
Simply
Wonderfully
And
Completely
Animal
