Ahistorical Valentine

Only an excess
of free kindness
could have created
could have sustained
this peculiar earth
if we had started out
from there and kept on
institutionalizing kindness
for those who don’t feel it
or still feel it as weakness
if we had only continued
to wash one another’s feet
where would we have reached
by now if we had stayed
sisters and brothers
