by Edward Ahern

Dominant beings die
and make way
for the insignificant.
As dinosaurs ignored
the burrowing rodents
that scurried underfoot,
trifles that after a cataclysm
morphed into humans,
earth-wrenchingly dominant
humans are very likely to be
subject to or cause
yet another cataclysm,
leaving the field
open to something else,
probably not mammalian.
