Classification

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
