What if we are the variant 
accelerating the loss 
of conditions that made us 
unique among creation 
wreaking destruction 
on a scale never before seen 
except on the microscopic 
ratio of cells in say a lung 
a respiratory system 
trees breathing the forest 
we have no hesitation in 
tearing down at our convenience 
no wonder replication 
enabled by such a situation 
homeless camped on the median 
asking for loose change 
as we rush back to the office 
we never wanted to return to 
so much energy expended on 
the opposite of our inclinations 
to stay still supine suffocating 
the thought of sharing this space 
with such a virus promulgating 
what humans habitually do 
infecting the air with bugs 
we have no choice but to cohabitate
