non evloving species

like Darwin
you suspect that things
are evolving
between the two
of you.
what has crawled
from the sea
is walking
on land, and about
to take flight.
but you are fooled
again,
a turtle remains
a turtle, a
fish a fish,
and you, a
simple chimp
are still swinging
alone
in a tree
while the birds
around you fly
out of sight.
