A Lust-Crazed Darwinian
Isaiah 11:6-9
Outside
the window I see in the autumn oak
A
face-off between a squirrel and a cat
Small
cat. Large squirrel. Insults given and received
They
would kill each other, just like humans
The
Romantic wants to see them at play
The
Darwinian wants to see who wins
And
if the squirrel would eat the brains of the cat
Just
as the cat would eat the brains of the squirrel
And
leave little headless corpses on my porch
Which
is why I am a hopeful Romantic
