Blue Footed Booby

David (Buddha309) Hargarten

observe
the noble human
seen here in his natural habitat
seated on the comfy chair
eating fried sliced potatoes and
watching television
a testament to spurious creationism
comfortable in his superiority and underwear
the human has long outgrown
ancient rituals of
the dances for fire and rain
it has become an afront to his sensibilities
although he will watch his gods (called celebrities)
dance on the television
but, as a mantra
tough guys don’t dance
and it’s all survival of the fittest

observe
the blue footed booby
seen here
dancing with abandon
shifting it’s weight from foot to foot
rockin’ out on the lava rocks of the Galapagos Islands
they are the dream soldiers of Darwin’s army
flying
diving
hitting the shore long enough to dance
take a lover
make more blue footed dancing fools
and the boobies don’t care
this is ritual
survival
it’s only natural
natural as in selection

observe
the noble human
watching his flashing pictures
drooling in his genetic dead end

Have we learned nothing from Kevin Bacon.
