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
