evolution

they find a skull.
an empty head in a well,
a million years old.
(it looks curiously like
my friend jimmy's head)
okay, now we understand
who we are,
the guy in the white smock
says,
standing in front of a 
monkey cage.
we know now
where we've come from.
we crawled out
of the ocean, growing legs
and what not.
swung from the trees
and moved on
to achieve greatness. it
took a few more million
years before
we invented the rotary phone,
but at last we arrived
at where we are today.
this is who we are today, 
he says,
holding up his new i phone.
