a mere five million years
since
human
chimp
diverge
bearing off
to different places,
never knowing why
reuniting in
periodic copulation
lustful familiarity
then
out of Africa
a
genesis
embarks
hereditary
rift
expands
then
permanently
divides
consequence is eminent...
Fortuitous mutation
two hundred
thousand years
ago
anatomical modern man
begins
to nurse
from
the common
breast
of our
maternal
mother
we
Her
nascent paradigm
off she sends
to different lands
a change in colors
a change of speech
our ways too
soon contrast
disconnection
comes
with adaptation
to new
environments
territorial imperatives
drive the wedge
between
morphing
tribal
sibling
a family dichotomy
with
paradox
hubris
arrogance
agree
we
are better then
our brother
it is clear
to
see...
