human(s), only.

in what way can you tell

from a person's laugh and eyes

that (s)he is really human?

from the way (s)he stares

what words (s)he chooses to utter

how human can one be?

from those carved smiles

to the little twitches of the noses

and those twinkle in the eyes

are you human?

from the way your arms move

the loudness of your voice

the slight whimper of your breath

can you be human?

from the way you walk and the

way you stand

from the way you hold my hands

the way you kiss 

the way you please

are you human, for me?

ah but there is only one way

to tell if one is human

if we can see the heart

and the functions of the other's brain

surely we can tell

if there is indeed a human

living in that attractive shell.

p.s: over-rated.
