An Order Older Than Ourselves

It's never hard to decide when to leave,

the only struggle we face is whether or not to return.

Migratory animals have no such problem,

they bow to an order greater than themselves.

Geography and direction are embedded

in DNA more ancient than our oldest cities.

Trapped by routine and convenience

have we become the most unnatural of creatures?
