Elemental

Why don't people leave off being lovable
or thinking they are lovable, or wanting to be lovable,
and be a bit elemental instead?

Since a man is made up of the elements
fire, and rain, and air, and live loam
and none of these is lovable
but elemental
man is lop-sided on the side of the angels.

I wish man would get back their balance among the elements
and be a bit more fiery, as incapable of telling lies
as fire is.

I wish they would be true to their own variation as water is,
which goes trough all the stages of steam, and stream, and ice
without losing its head.

I am sick of lovable people,
Somehow they are a lie.
