Darwin On My Mind


Evolution’s subtle
but not difficult:
things (species, individuals)
arise, some die, some breed.
There is no guiding purpose
merely collisions with reality.

Just so in mind:
thoughts arise
some die, some breed;
there is no intelligence.

As for consciousness,
we have evolved a way
for a second sense to follow
as a single thought evolves...
not fox pursuing rabbit, but
one worm chewing on
another’s casts.
