How to stay human in a timeline we hate

how do we stay human
in this timeline we hate

we practice
triple vision

we love our neighbors —
with creative resistance
courageous connection
tender love
wild trust

we love ourselves —
with slow rest
challenging growth
deep joy
silly delight
serious care

we love our world —
by keeping eyes
on the ridiculous evil
demanding justice
relentless in love
for what must be faced

so we can liberate
all who tremble
for their lives

we must stay
human in this
timeline we hate
