| Humanity i love you |
| because you would rather black the boots of |
| success than enquire whose soul dangles from his |
| watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both |
| parties and because you |
| unflinchingly applaud all |
| songs containing the words country home and |
| mother when sung at the old howard |
| Humanity i love you because |
| when you're hard up you pawn your |
| intelligence to buy a drink and when |
| you're flush pride keeps |
| you from the pawn shop and |
| because you are continually committing |
| nuisances but more |
| especially in your own house |
| Humanity i love you because you |
| are perpetually putting the secret of |
| life in your pants and forgetting |
| it's there and sitting down |
| on it |
| and because you are |
| forever making poems in the lap |
| of death Humanity |
| i hate you |
