The Handler

The herd has its hierarchy
a natural calibration of evolution and instinct
tiered system of groups and subgroups
a pecking order of individuals within

lovers
best friends
parents, children
leaders
groupies
assholes
fuckboys
and pushovers

disposition, genetics, blood
all play a role to determine
who moves for who
who steps out of whose way

but when I enter the corral
they all move for me.
