I Believe In Evolution.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i believe in
evolution, and the best
evidence is
here,

myself evolving,
my hands used to
be moss,
now they are
fries of milk
fish,
tonight they will
be bear cubs,

be ready, tonight
my head will turn
into a Chinese dragon,

a little reflections
a thought of a
yellow river
soon my body will turn
into
a koi, and there will be
a pond ready,


i will be slippery
and even without feet
for i now have fins
and scales,

a little more
i will learn to jump
into wings

and cross this wall
and join the
mountain where the tree
of knowledge
grows,

there is evolution
in reverse
for of all wishes
i only want to be
just another
stone.
