< hungry fish > (evoku)

[rayheinrich]

In other words, nature selects for fat fish because fat is a desirable trait! That's why fat women have so many dates, and skinny women are ignored, cause the fat women can get more crabs, and everybody wants crabs...right? That's also how long fingernails became a desirable trait. I'm still a bit unclear on the opposable thumb. It does help in masturbating, but I am unsure about how that helps to get a mate!?!?

But back to the poem. I think the key elements is "soon", as it is left undefined. On an evolutionary scale soon could be 200 million years. Plenty of time to go to the gym and pump up those pelvic fins, or legs as we humans say. But I definitely think that the word "soon" "evokes" thought, and that is what an evoku is all about, right?

The name "natural selection" is yet another anthropological
distortion. "Nature" isn't sentient and can't "select".
It all comes down to food. Fish that starve to death can't
reproduce.

'Opposable thumbs' brings to mind a robotic hand with two thumbs.

Getting mates has something to do with quantum mechanics and gods.

And yes: 'soon' is this poem's 'red wheelbarrow'.

What evoku evokes is evolving.
