Lent poetry 6

"Do you not know
who you are,
or is it that you don't know
what

"I am human," I replied.

His eyes bore into me.

Then he sat forward.

"Eukaryota
Animalia
Chordata
Mammalia
Primates
Heplorhini
Simiiformes
Hominidae
Homininae
Hominini
Honinina
Homo
Sapiens

Human is a classification.
What are you?"

"I do not know."

He smiled.
"Then you should find out."
