"We're monsters!"
The little girl squeals
Gleefully
As she and her sister
Chase her brother around

Twelve years later
She whispers to her friend
"We're monsters"
After they ran over
A baby squirrel.

Fourteen months later
She's sitting on a couch crying
Explaining how she's come to recognize humanity
"Don't you see?
We're monsters."
