DARWIN’S DEMISE
When Copernicus gazed into the sun
the Church of Earth fell.
Newton’s apple fell
hit him on his head
and set the world in motion.
Darwin evolved from chimpanzees
and single-cell ocean fish.
I came from Outer Space.
My floating DNA ancestors
wander
far through stars
vibrating masses invisible
eyes won’t see
the universe is.
My DNA ancestors
created
Darwin’s single-cell ocean fish.
Fooled poor Darwin.
Fooling you
and your evolutions.
I am Achilles
My father was a mere human
my mother was a goddess.
I am a Lugal.
Standing on the expanding shoulders
of the mighty Giants.
Your scientists and scholars
all shortsighted
believe Darwin’s Easter Island
only an Earth and an apple
vast oceans
dust whirling winds
fiery endless
motionless.
THE CIRCUS . . . . . . . . . AND THE ZOO
