EVOLUTION

A yellow bird moves on a twig

pondering the wisdom of nature

testing one leg and another

challenging the round colored bre ast

of his own.

A warm air lies within his body.

A cold air comes over like a message

from an ancient spirit to remind

of a time when he was a creature of the sea

a bug, a bone, a bit of soil

all encompassed in a line

of living matter.

Unaware of his fate, past and future

the yellow bird -a chain link in the sight

of science- moves again to assert

a simple truth of nature. He

rejoices on his fortune

of being feathered. A choice

he never made.

Dante H.
