HOW CAN I TRUST

how can I trust people

says the cat

when I ask her about her kittens

how can I trust people

says the knife

when I ask it

what they cut with it

how can I trust other people says the child

when I ask it if it wants to grow up

how can I trust

how to trust at all

in something so inconstant

and so uncertain in itself

possessing the whole palette

of possibilities

between good and evil

and always choosing darkness

how can I trust humans

when they refuse to be humane
