I find myself pinned to the board  
and hardly of my own accord  
the label says: species unknown  
a dubious distinction

I'm Home Sapiens, I scream  
things are not always what they seem  
my kind no longer on its throne  
and heading for extinction

so why am I pinned like a bug  
and to the left of me, a slug  
a specimen without a home  
and asking for direction

no answer comes, no one will say  
no choice for me but hang and stay  
as my collector writes a tome  
on natural selection
