Social Animals

You are one presence,
or are you,
you try hard each time,
you are in company,
some of it is natural,
flowing from your aura,
at others you have devices,
to make you known,heard and seen,
is it necessary that you are acknowledged,
can't you arrive and leave,
all alone,
just like animals,
who do know and feel,
each other,
but not so demonstrably along,
perhaps not,
that is the clue,
to the human glue,
they are  just animals,
and you are social animals.
