I think evolution is about getting bored.
Life on earth is connected
when one thing becomes dead
we move on
to be microscopic.
To feel the molecules that made up a thought;
probably an orgasm every time
a connection was made at all.
It was not the factors of life and death,
the blossoming of bacteria that produced ferric oxide,
The first step past amino acids
that filled the oceans,
it was the addiction to a different kind of mystery.
Electrons were the clouds of their minds,
all reaction was chemical.
Narcissus ruled as ultimate understanding,
Physical contact that tempted an understanding
of life beyond thought and feeling being the same thing,
never occurred.
