Sitting at the desk in my study,

staring at a faraway galaxy

on my computer screen,

chewing a pear,

I suddenly see myself

as the primate I am,

jaws grinding away,

teeth sinking into the fruit,

the juice flooding my oral cavity

and I sense Evolution

grabbing my neck,

rubbing my mind

in the mystery of it all

until I get all dirtied

with scientific philosophies
