Social Animals

Humans are social animals

Sliding into groups, clamoring for cliques

In a way, we were inevitable—

A bond foretold by ages of evolution

Mechanisms of survival tying us tight

In a way, we are nothing more than a coincidence—

Same class or neighboring homes

The right people that, bereft of the right time,

May have been nothing at all.

 

I think we would have found each other regardless.
